BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officiis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.

MINUTES OF THE
151st ANNUAL MEETING of the MASSACHUSETTS
CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE AND
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
May 16, 17, 1950
Central Congregational Church
Fall River, Massachusetts
TUESDAY MORNING
At nine-fifteen the Chaplain, Rev. Claude Bond- of Salem, led the
Conference in a memorial service for our former President, Rev.
Ralph M. Timberlake, D.D. The following prayer was offered by
Chaplain Bond:
"Almighty and most merciful Father, thou hast been our dwelling place
in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth or ever thou
hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting,
thou art God. Age after age, thy children have sought thee and have found
that of thy faithfulness and loving kindness there is no end. Be thou now
in our midst; take thou the veil from every heart and join us in one com-
munion with all thy prophets and saints who have trusted in thee and were
not ashamed. Not of our worthiness but of thy tender mercy, hear our
prayer through Christ our Lord.
Accept our humble thanksgiving for him whom we now remember with
quiet minds and reverent hearts. For his life among us, for the encourage-
ment he gave to so many, for his devotion to thee and to thy Kingdom, we
give thee thanks.
For his gracious courtesy and forbearance, for his generous understand-
ing and sympathy, for his courageous faith and steadfast loyalty, we give
thee thanks. We thank thee for his 'little, nameless, unremembered acts
of kindness and love,' for his gracious influence that has reached out through
many lives into many places to heal and bless.
We praise thee for thy goodness that withheld not his portion in the joys
of this life and for thy guiding hand along the way of his pilgrimage.
Especially do we thank thee for thy grace that kindled in him the love of
thy name ; that enabled him to fight the good fight, endure unto the end, and
become more than conqueror through him that loveth us.
Do thou bless, as only thou canst bless, with that peace which the world
can neither give nor take away, those most near and dear to him. Be thou
1950] Minutes 29
to them, O Father of mercies, an unfailing source of comfort and strength
and grant them the assurance that 'life is ever lord of death and (that) love
can never lose its own !'
And finally, O Lord, as thou dost accept our humble thanksgiving for him
whom we have loved and lost a while, wilt thou grant that we, being stead-
fast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted in love, may be to him and
to all who have died in the faith living memorials through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen."
Rev. Harry L. Meyer, pastor of the host church, gave greetings,
to which the Moderator, Rev. Horace G. Robson, responded.

together with a statement on behalf of the Massachusetts Congrega-
tional Fund, which serves the churches of the State as an investment
trust. These reports were accepted by vote.

30 Minutes [1950
The Advance Reports were accepted as printed, with the follow-
ing correction in Dr. Coe's report:
I shall ask you to accept my advance report with the inclusion of this
paragraph taken from my full report, the insertion to he at the end of the
first paragraph concerning the Merger:
"During the past week two members of the Continuation Committee who
originally visited me, upon seeing my report, came to inform me that I
had misstated their case. I asked them to write out a summary of what
they had said. Here is their written statement of what they originally said:
'that if the State Conference further promotes the interests of the Merger
in the light of Judge Steinbrink's decision, they will use legal weapons to
prevent the consummation of the Merger on the State level.' I am glad
to present this as information and place it as. an addition to my advance
report. However, I do not change my original statement.
The following recommendations of the Trustees were adopted:
THAT the Allotment assessments for the coming year be twenty-four
cents as at present: sixteen cents for the General Council and eight cents
for the Conference.
THAT for the coming year the Conference take of the undesignated
gifts to Our Christian "World Mission a sum equivalent to 15% of the total
gifts to Our Christian World Mission, plus 1% for the Boston Seaman's
Friend Society.
THAT a committee of nine be established, to be known as the Committee
on the Town and Country Church, three members of which shall be elected
for a term of one year, three for two years, three for three years, and there-
after three persons each year for a term of three years.
Dr. Kendig B. Cully, Chairman of the Business Committee, re-
ported resolutions on behalf of the Social Action Committee, which
were acted on as follows :
DISPLACED PERSONS
Since the Displaced Persons Act was passed by- Congress in June, 1948,
more than 125 assurances for individuals, married couples, and families have
been offered by the people of our churches, approximately 50 of which have
to date had a part in this great humanitarian project. Displaced Persons
have now arrived in this country to the extent of approximately one half
of those provided for through assurances offered in the name of our
churches. Unforeseen difficulties have resulted in a general retardation of
the rate of admission of Displaced Persons into our country, and in some
instances, especially where sponsors have applied for particular persons and
families, the delay in their arrival has caused no little inconvenience. While
we regret this, we urge continued cooperation in this vital matter.
1950] Minutes 31
The so-called Blanket Assurance plan, whereby Displaced Persons are
allowed to enter the country through assurances offered by the denomina-
tions, is now in operation, and preliminary results indicate a greater facility
in helping these people in the months ahead.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED: That
1. We express appreciation to all families and churches having a part in
helping with Displaced Persons ;
2. We urge all churches not yet having had a part in this work to accept
responsibility for at least one individual, couple, or family, before September
1, 1950.
This resolution was adopted.
GAMBLING
A recent study of gambling, conducted by the Massachusetts Citizens
Committee, reveals an amazing and disturbing increase of participation in
gambling activities on the part of the American people since the close of
the war.
Equally disturbing is the evidence offered that gambling is now promoted
as a massive, illicit business enterprise, and has come increasingly under
the control of large gambling syndicates, which in turn have exercised a
sinister influence on local, state, and national government.
Conservative estimates indicate that at least $12 billion and possibly as
much as $21 billion, are now diverted from channels of legitimate business
investments and charity, to support gamblers, while society pays a terrific
toll in moral and social consequences and in destruction of human values.
Therefore be it
RESOLVED : That we urge our churches to refrain from the use of
gambling techniques within their own organizations. Be it further
RESOLVED: That we urge our people to:
1. Refrain from participating in gambling activities, including those
based upon relatively modest amounts of money;
2. Resist and oppose patterns of gambling in organizations with which
we are associated, even though for so-called good causes;
3. Insist upon the proper enforcement of Chapter 271 of the General
Laws of Massachusetts, which states that gambling, the promotion and
permitting of lotteries, and the selling or advertising of lottery tickets, are
punishable by fines up to $2000 or imprisonment of up to one year; as well
as local and federal laws against gambling.
The following amendment to this resolution was offered by Dr.
Fowell :
32 Minutes [1950
THAT we go on record in opposition to the Beano Bill now before the
General Court.
The original resolution, with the amendment, was adopted.
RACE RELATIONS
Great strides have been made toward the realization of the Christian and
democratic ideal of equality of opportunity and responsibility for all.
Nevertheless, we are still prone to group and generalize in our estimate of
people according to a preconceived and irrational set of values, and to
deny to many individuals the means for making their proper contributions
to society. Therefore, be it
RESOLVED : That we underscore the need to redouble our efforts to
eradicate patterns of discrimination because of age, color, race, nationality,
or creed, wherever they exist as barriers to opportunity or insults to human
dignity, by supporting adequate legislation and education.
This resolution was adopted.
An address, "You, Too, Can Bring Them Back Alive", was given
by Rev. Mrs. Margaret Blair Johnstone of Essex Parish, Wadhams,
New York.
The following greetings were received in a telegram from Mrs.
Ralph M. Timberlake:
"Please extend to the 151st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference and Missionary Society my cordial greetings, and
express my deep appreciation to the Associations, churches and individuals
who have, during the past several months sent messages which have helped
me realize in what high esteem so many held my husband. I am most
grateful to the Board of Trustees for the beautiful illuminated scroll, which
will always be cherished as a token of their affection for Ralph, and appre-
ciation of his fifteen years as President of the Conference. Best wishes
to all who are now responsible for carrying on the program of the Confer-
ence, and my prayers that the work of Christ in the Commonwealth may
be strengthened under their leadership."
The session closed with hymn and prayer led, in the unavoidable
absence of the Chaplain, by Rev. Roy L. Minich of Maiden.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Dr. Roy L. Minich opened the session with devotions.
The Massachusetts Committee for the Continuation of Congrega-
tional Christian Churches presented its point of view on the Merger
and the appeal, through its chairman, Rev. Joseph J. Russell of
Holbrook, and the following members: Rev. Franklin G. Loehr,
1950] Minutes 33
Rev. George W. Owen, Mr. Edward F. Mann, Mr. James A. Cush-
man, and Rev. Harry R. Butman.
Acting for the Business Committee, Dr. Cully presented Rev.
Eugene M. Bushong, who made a statement on behalf of an informal
committee in favor of an appeal on the Merger case, with a request
for contributions to aid the appeal.
Dr. Cully presented the following resolutions, all of which were
adopted :
GAMBLING
BE IT RESOLVED : That we urge our people to write or wire their
senators and representatives in the General Court, urging the defeat of
the Beano Bill.
CIVIL LIBERTIES
We believe that the greatest calamity which can befall democracy is to
be seen in a concern for the means of its defense which is so great that
it uses undemocratic methods in that defense. We believe that the Mundt-
Nixon bill represents a type of legislation which, although well intended,
would ultimately destroy the very institutions it seeks to protect. There-
fore, be it
RESOLVED: That we call upon the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference and Missionary Society to register its opposition to the Mundt-
Nixon bill and all similar bills at both state and national levels, and to
reaffirm our faith in true democratic practices, to meet the challenge of
our times. We are specifically opposed to the national Mundt-Nixon bill
and to Massachusetts House Bill No. 2205, both of which we believe rep-
resent greater dangers than those they seek to overcome.
PENAL INSTITUTIONS
We favor legislation designed to aid more largely in the rehabilitation of
criminal offenders during the period of their confinement in penal institu-
tions, and urge support of House Bill No. 2404, which would make possible
more adequate work and rehabilitation programs for those confined in the
Women's Reformatory in Framingham.
We also believe that the equalization of penalties for men and women
upon conviction for similar crimes is in keeping with the principles of
democratic government. Too long have women been penalized more heavily
than men for exactly the same crimes.
We urge, therefore, further revision of laws defining criminal offenses
and providing for punishment in such a way as to represent greater justice
and more enlightened policies of penology.
34 Minutes [1950
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
RESOLVED: That we reaffirm our high regard for free public schools
as a means of training children for life in a Christian, democratic society ;
THA T we view these schools as partners with the churches in establishing
such Christian virtues as honesty, industry, charity, justice, respect for
others, obedience to law, and temperance;
THAT we view with great concern the frequent lack of proper school
facilities, trained teachers, and financial support in this period of increasing
school enrollment;
THAT we deplore the fact that Massachusetts has not moved ahead in
recent years, as have many other states, by way of improving buildings,
increasing teachers' salaries, raising educational requirements for teachers,
and strengthening the morale of students and teachers.
A resolution on temperance was referred back to the Business
Committee.
An address, "Christian Footnotes to New Problems of Industrial

The following resolutions, presented by Dr. Cully, on behalf of
the Social Action Committee, were adopted:
TEMPERANCE
WHEREAS the results of the use of liquor are making themselves
evident throughout all our communities, and
WHEREAS the large profits of the industry result in tremendous
advertising displays in magazines, newspapers, television, on the stage and
in the movies, and
WHEREAS the public is subject to indignities resulting in the invasion
of ordinary rights of young people and adults on the streets, in the sub-
ways, and in public conveyances:
Therefore we RECOMMEND
1. That we call attention to the legal requirements that temperance be
taught in the public schools. We urge strict observance and enforcement
of this law, and commend those school authorities who are heeding this
law.
2. That Christian individuals be outspoken against the serving of liquor
in organizations on social occasions of which they are a part.
3. That we commend the Christian Science Monitor and other periodicals
for their refusal to publish liquor advertising.
4. That we commend the Massachusetts Legislature for passing House
Bill 815, designed to abolish the false-front restaurants which have been
saloons in disguise. We urge the full co-operation of local licensing com-
mittees and police forces in the interest of proper enforcement of this
new law.
5. That we commend to ministers the preaching of temperance sermons,
the securing of training relative to helping alcoholics, and the conducting
of seminars and conferences to discuss matters pertaining to the prevention
and control of alcoholism.
6. That we commend Alcoholics Anonymous for their effective work in
the rehabilitation of alcoholics.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
In view of the extent to which the nations of the world look to America
at this time for leadership and practical help for the achievement of world
order and peace, we recommend to our representatives in Washington the
following, for consideration in our foreign policy:
1. Vigorous support of the United Nations. We do not agree with the
suggestion that the United Nations be reorganized in a form which would
exclude Russia and other Communist countries. Such a step would, we
believe, widen the existing chasm between East and West and make war
more probable. We urge, on the contrary, that the United States increase
its financial support of the United Nations; that it work through the
United Nations wherever possible; and that a careful study be made of
proposals for strengthening the organization, such as modifying the use
of the veto in the Security Council.
2. A bold and creative program of technical aid to the underdeveloped
countries, to be conducted primarily through the United Nations. We
support the suggestion of Senator Brien MacMahon, urging the use of the
resources of all nations for the rehabilitation of the people of the world,
as a first step in a broadly-conceived international action to lift the living
standards of the world and to establish peace.
3. A determined effort to bring our domestic life into harmony with the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The fact is that our struggle
against totalitarianism and our advocacy of human rights are weakened
by the denial of civil rights to many of our own citizens. What we are, in
some areas of our American life, speaks so loudly that the people of other
countries cannot hear what we say in behalf of democracy.
4. Determined exploration of the possibilities of world government. We
do not urge world government as a practicable alternative to war in the
years immediately ahead, but we believe that the facts of our interde-
pendent world call for something more than lip-service to the ultimate
goal of world government.
5. A refusal to accept our present differences with the Soviet Union as
irreconcilable and war as inevitable. We deplore any policy which assumes
that our case is wholly righteous and that the Soviet Union has no cause
at all to fear or suspect the Western nations. Such an attitude is not in
accord with the facts and it can have no issue save in a war of annihilation.
6. A re-examination of our approach to the problem of the control of
atomic energy. We suggest that the control of atomic energy cannot be
separated from the whole problem of peace. We therefore urge our gov-
ernment to take the lead in outlawing the use of the atomic and hydrogen
bombs. As Christians we reject the theory that the mass annihilation of
people is ever justifiable.
1950] Minutes 41
COMIC BOOKS
Whereas we recognize some progress has been made in voluntary control
of undesirable comics and salacious literature, we continue to urge the
establishment of local committees to check facts, write letters to magazines,
censor use of pornographic pictures by calling upon newsdealers, and hold-
ing conferences. We continue to urge that censorship be exercised pri-
marily through educational influence rather than legislation.
AMNESTY FOR CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS
Some thousands of conscientious objectors to the World War II draft
still have limitations upon their citizenship because of having been con-
victed of the felony of disobedience to the demand of military service. A
considerable number are still serving prison terms because of their stand
for the sake of conscience. Regardless of our opinions about military
service, we agree that it is unjust to continue penalizing those who have
taken seriously the traditional American belief in the integrity of conscience.
We note further that eight Presidents, beginning with Washington's
pardon of the Whiskey Rebellion participants, and continuing through
Franklin Roosevelt's Christmas amnesty to World War I conscientious
objectors, have followed the policy of pardoning political offenders.
Therefore we urgently petition President Truman forthwith to grant
full pardon and restoration of citizenship rights to these conscientious
objectors.
JAPAN INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY
FOUNDATION, INC.
WHEREAS American Christians now have an opportunity to extend
the hand of Christian fellowship to the Japanese, in helping them to the
reconstruction of their new democratic State, and
WHEREAS the Japan International Christian University Foundation,
Inc., has been organized to establish and help to maintain a Christian
University of high academic standards on a Christian basis through an
appeal for $10,000,000 from the United States and Canada, and
WHEREAS the quota for the State of Massachusetts is $382,200., in
which we Congregationalists desire to have our share, and
WHEREAS the General Council of the Congregational Christian
Churches, American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and
the Committee on Women's Work, have endorsed and recommended the
project,
BE IT RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Confer-
ence and Missionary Society endorse this project and recommend its sup-
port to our people.
42 Minutes [1950
The following resolution, presented by a group of individuals, was
passed by a vote of 108 to 56:
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society urge individuals to write to President Truman and
members of Congress opposing the appointment of another representative
to the Vatican.
We follow the recommendation of the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, which urges us to give special attention to the principle
of the separation of Church and State, which is being challenged at this
point. We take this position because:
1. We recognize that tremendous pressure is being exerted on President
Truman by the Catholic Hierarchy to accredit a permanent envoy to the
Vatican.
2. It is contrary to American tradition to give special recognition to
any religious group. We covet no special privilege for ourselves or any
one else.
3. In a time of growing totalitarian tendencies we, as Congregational
Christians, interested in pure democracy, wish to take a firm stand against
any possible danger towards Church and State alliance.
The following resolutions, presented by the Business Committee,
were adopted:
Inasmuch as this, the 151st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society, has enjoyed the hospitality,
the spiritual and material blessings of the many groups and individuals of
Fall River during its stay here, it is therefore
RESOLVED: That we extend deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks
1. To Central Church, with special recognition of the outstanding services
rendered by the Hospitality and Arrangements Committee, and the pastor;
2. To the following churches, assisting in conducting meetings and the
serving of luncheons : the Church of the Ascension ; the First Congregational
Church; and to the Masons.
3. To the many individuals outside of this fellowship who have opened
their homes in order that all might find adequate lodging;
4. To the management of the Hotel Mellen, who have earnestly and
graciously served many;
5. To the Press, who have given full coverage of all the meetings of the
Conference ;
1950] Minutes 43
6. To the Mayor and City officials of Fall River, especially the Police
Department, for their complete co-operation in facilitating traffic problems
and in giving courteous and constant attention to all our needs, even
beyond the point of service.
Truly with such loyal friends to help us, our Conference has been able
to complete its business free from any disturbance, and full of busy
activity, joy and peace.
RESOLVED: That we express to our retiring Moderator, Rev. Horace
G. Robson, our deep appreciation for his skillful, gracious and understand-
ing leadership during the entire Annual Meeting; and to our Minister and
President, the Secretary, and all others from our Boston headquarters, for
their untiring and fruitful efforts on behalf of the Conference; wishing
them continued health and joy in service, and promising them our prayers
to God on their behalf.
On a motion made and seconded, it was
VOTED: That the Conference acknowledge the invitation from
Grace Church, Framingham, to hold its next Annual Meeting there,
and to refer the invitation as well as any others which may be forth-
coming, to the Board of Trustees and the Staff of the Conference
for action.
VOTED: That the following report of the Credentials Commit-
tee be accepted:
Delegates registered 292
Ministers registered 248
Guests registered 321
Ex officio registered 30
Total 891
The Necrology for 1949-1950 was presented by the President of
the Conference. (See page 103).
Rev. Douglas Horton, Minister of the General Council, addressed
the Conference on "The Larger Fellowship".
This was followed by the presentation of the new Moderator, Mr.
Sidney F. Law.
The closing devotions were led by Chaplain Bond, who offered
the following prayer :
Almighty and Eternal God, thou Father of us all, as thou hast begun
a good work in us, wilt thou perform it until the day of Jesus Christ; grant
that we may ever remain steadfast in faith, united in spirit, and charitable
in purpose. Draw us to thyself, O Lord, and grant us thy Holy Spirit.
44 Minutes [1950
Give us wisdom and strength sufficient unto our tasks, for we confess that
alone we cannot bear the load of the work we have to do for Christ and
thy Kingdom. Seeing, we see not and hearing, we hear not; grant us eyes
to see and ears to hear and hearts to understand. We can do nothing
unless thou prosper the work of our hands upon us; in our weakness make
us strong, O Lord! We believe; help thou our unbelief! Restore unto us
the joy of thy salvation and make us to be in spirit and in truth the living,
ministering Body of Christ.
If we have here done or said that which is displeasing to thee, wilt thou
forgive. We would be thine ; let us never fall away from thee.
We pray thy blessing upon all thy people everywhere, that thou wouldst
be pleased in thine infinite wisdom to work thy Holy and Blessed Will upon
us and in us, fashioning us into one united Church. Whatever be our
differences, great or small, make us ever mindful that we are all one in
Christ Jesus. Let nothing break the blessed bond of union between
believers, but may it be increasingly strengthened in all thy people every-
where for the sake of thy Son, our Saviour.
Finally, we commend one another to thy care and guidance as we return
to our churches to do the work we have to do; may we go strengthened
and sustained in the assurance that thou art sufficient unto all our need,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Adjournment was followed by a second showing of the motion pic-
ture, "Second Chance".

1950] Report of the Treasurer 51
May 5, 1950
Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President,
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts.
Sir:
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference and Missionary Society and of Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society, Trustee, as at March 31, 1950, and the related statements
of income for the year ended at that date. Our examination was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests
of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1950, were verified
by inspection, and we confirmed the cash in banks and in office at that date.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Society and of the Society as
Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1950, and the results of their operations for
the year ended at that date in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
PATTERSON, TEELE AND DENNIS
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-four cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Sixteen cents of the twenty-four goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CONFERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the
church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval
of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the President or
Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory, to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
9. We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1949-1950 by placing the reference § before the names of
these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches and
Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year
the letter "d" appears after the reference §. Special grants will be listed, as usual,
on the following page.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions
removals, Sunday schools, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These tables,
in accordance with the vote of the Conference, in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book.
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership, the residence and his "employment."
4. The Ministerial Record containing lists of ordinations, and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. If the post office name
of the church and the town name differ, a cross reference on the page where the post office
name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name. Stars before the
names of churches indicate the payment of the allotment dues for the year reported.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1950. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1949. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars, January 1, 1950, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools," "mission schools" and "home departments," so far as maintained by
the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They
will be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in
the "Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and
installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists .of the local
Associations which follow the tables.
"Ordained" denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry
by the "laying-on of hands." "Called" denotes the date of the beginning of hia present
pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Council, in the Statistical Tables
pastors installed are marked"*"; pastors duly called by their churches, but not installed
or recognized by council, are not marked;'1!/" before a pastor's name indicates that he has a
yoked (double or triple) field.
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to"none," but mean"no report",
but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting
pastor, and the blank is left for the convenience of those who note changes.
Under Sunday Schools, "c" denotes cradle roll.
In the final column, under valuation of church property, an asterisk * indicates that the
church has a parsonage (value included), or in a very few cases that house rent for the
minister is paid in addition to the stated salary. An"x" indicates that repairs were made
on church property during the year.
The condensed form in which the Year Book tables are published offers the reader an
opportunity for personal computation, as, for example, to find the number of female
members, subtract the number of male members from the total.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated
church. Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership
in young people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the
churches grouped together in the federated church.

selves, or for others whom they may designate as beneficiaries, as long
as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning such
annuity agreements is invited.

TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $3,000,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799,
in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the
theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for
the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of
salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the
glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of
our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian
ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel
Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary
Society of Massachusetts Proper were united under the name of the Massachusetts
Missionary Society. This meant that while the Domestic Missionary Society of
Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the Massachusetts Missionary Society was
henceforth to work almost exclusively in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home"
Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the
Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of
America.
The Massachusetts Home Missionary Society and the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference were united under the name of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society in 1927. This was the result of
twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National
Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was
used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. The Massachusetts
Congregational Conference and Missionary Society assumes responsibility for all
Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts. It supports a staff of
eleven persons who give ministerial and executive leadership to a broad program
of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellowship of the ministers
and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denominational and inter-
denominational projects and programs.
BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officiis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.
6 By-Laws [1951
ARTICLE V
Officers
1. There shall be a Moderator, one or more vice-Moderators, a Recording
Secretary, a Chairman and a vice-Chairman of the Department of Woman's Work
(See Article VIII, Sec. 1, (b)), a Chairman and vice-Chairman of the Massachusetts
Congregational Laymen's Council (See Article VIII, Sec. 2, (b)), all of whom shall
be nominated by the Nominating Committee hereinafter provided for, and elected
by ballot at each annual meeting of the Conference for a term of one year and until
their respective successors are chosen.
2. The executive officers of the Conference shall be a President, a Secretary, a
Treasurer, Field Secretaries, a Director of Woman's Work, a Secretary of Missions
and Stewardship, and a Secretary of Religious Education. These officers shall
constitute the Executive Staff. They shall be nominated by the Board of Trustees
meeting in executive session, and elected by ballot at each annual meeting of the
Conference for a term of one year and until their respective successors are chosen.
They shall bear such additional titles as the Conference or the Board of Trustees
may determine.
3. "The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees consisting of one
member from each Association of churches, six members at large who shall be
known for their special knowledge of financial affairs of whom one shall be chosen
each even numbered year and two, — beginning with the year 1935, — each odd
numbered year, the chairman and vice-chairman of the Woman's Department
ex-officiis, the chairman and vice-chairman of the Massachusetts Congregational
Laymen's Council ex officiis, and the Moderator ex officio." One-third of the
representatives of the Associations upon the Board shall be ministers, one-third
laymen, and one-third laywomen as nearly as may be. Nine members shall consti-
tute a quorum. The term of office shall be four years, and no member having served
a full term shall be eligible for re-election until after one year, but members-at-large,
chosen for their knowledge of financial affairs, may serve for two consecutive terms.
The present Trustees shall remain in office until the expiration of their terms.
The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from which
Trustees are to be chosen in the successive years and determine whether the
Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a
candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such candidate should be
a minister, a layman or a laywoman, and the names of such candidates shall be
reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the
receipt of these names shall communicate them to the nominating committee on
or before April 10. In case any Association fails to propose a candidate the Board
of Trustees shall perform this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall
commence at the close of the 1933 Conference.
At its first meeting after each annual meeting of the Conference the Board shall
choose one of its members to serve as chairman for the ensuing year. Except as
otherwise provided in the charter of the Conference or in these by-laws, the Board
shall administer and dispose of the property of the Conference and shall manage
1951] By-Laws 7
all its business and affairs, and all officers and agents of the Conference shall act
under its direction. The Board shall cause the accounts of the Treasurer to be
audited at least once each year by certified public accountants selected by the Board.
Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, the Board shall in particular
have the following powers:
(a) To choose a Clerk, to appoint its own meetings and form its own rules of
business, to appoint sub-committees and to delegate any of its powers to
such committees.
(b) To appoint and, at pleasure, remove all agents of the Conference and to
define their duties.
(c) To fill any vacancy in any office of the Conference (including vacancies
in the membership of the Board) until the vacancy shall be filled at a
succeeding meeting of the Conference.
(d) To remove any officer of the Conference (other than members of the
Board) who may be guilty of disregard of his duties or of such conduct
as shall be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the Conference.
(e) To direct efforts to promote missionary interest and giving among the
Congregational churches of the Commonwealth.
4. The terms of all officers, save when chosen to fill vacancies, shall begin at the
close of the meeting at which they are elected.
ARTICLE VI
Duties of Officers
1. The Moderator, or in his absence, one of the vice-Moderators, shall preside
over all meetings of the Conference.
2. The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Conference and shall,
subject to the direction of the Conference and of its Board of Trustees, have general
charge of its missionary and benevolent work and of its other activities. He shall
be a member ex officio of all standing committees named in the by-laws with the
exception of the nominating committee. He shall have the power to delegate to
members of the Staff the authority to represent him upon any of the said standing
committees. He shall be the representative of the Conference and of its Board of
Trustees among all the churches (both those financially independent and those

direction of the President, to counseling with and assisting the churches in the area
assigned to him, and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by
8 By-Laws [1951

THAT the following provisions for the operation and manage-
ment of the Conference Center be made as an amendment and
addition to the By-Laws of the Conference :
The operation and management of the Conference Center (to be known as "Con-
ference Center" or some other name yet to be decided upon) shall be in the hands
of a State Conference Committee, to be called the Conference Center Committee,
as the agency of the Conference, responsible to the Board of Trustees. This
Committee shall consist of thirty members — approximately one-third ministers,
one-third laymen, and one-third lay-women — one member from each Association
to be nominated annually by the Association, and nine members-at-large, to be
nominated by the State Conference Nominating Committee for three-year terms,
three to be elected each year — one minister, one layman, one lay-woman.
The Chairman of the Conference Center Committee shall be a member ex officio
of the Board of Trustees of the State Conference and shall make a report at each
meeting of the Board of Trustees.
The Conference Center Committee shall elect its own officers and sub-committee
chairmen and may co-opt such additional persons as may be necessary to the
effective functioning of the committees.
No member, elected or appointed, having served a full term of three consecutive
years, shall be eligible to succeed himself until after the lapse of one year.
The report of the Nominating Committee was presented by
Rev. Howard E. Pomeroy. There being no further nominations,
the officers were elected by ballot, as printed on page 16. Com-
mittees of the Conference and officers of the Laymen's Council
were elected by acclaim. (See pages 18-28.) The Laymen's
Council was authorized to fill vacancies in its representation by
Associations.
The Business Committee reported on behalf of the Social Action
Committee a resolution on grain for India, and it was adopted as
follows :
GRAIN FOR INDIA
For many months India has been in desperate need of grain,
because of a critical shortage in her domestic production caused
by flood and other factors. Meantime, we have had in storage
millions of tons of surplus wheat which might have been related
to the needs of the people of India. On February 12, 1951,
President Truman called on the Congress to take immediate steps
to send food to India. However, effective steps yet remain to be
taken. It is our conviction that American help should be extended
1951] Minutes 35
to India without delay, as an expression of the Christian good
will of the people of America to the people of India. Therefore
be it
RESOLVED: That we urge Congress to hasten the passage of effective legis-
lation necessary for expediting the sending of American grain to India, and urge
the implementation of this resolution by the sending of the following telegram
from the Secretary of the Conference to our senators and representatives in
Washington :
"The Massachusetts Congregational Conference, having a constituency of 600
churches, 190,000 members, urges Massachusetts delegation in Congress to use
every effort to have food relief sent to India immediately."
Also on behalf of the Social Action Committee, the Business
Committee introduced the following resolutions, all of which were
adopted :
TEMPERANCE
WHEREAS problems associated with the sale of beverage alcohol continue to
increase in seriousness, as more and more people under the influence of intoxi-
cating liquor interfere with the lives and liberties of other people and contribute
to the burden of social welfare in many communities, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we
1. Urge upon our churches the necessity for more adequate programs of edu-
cation against the evil effects of beverage alcohol;
2. Urge our ministers to try to be as helpful as possible in guiding alcoholics
in their communities to the facilities and services available for their rehabilitation;
3. Urge our law enforcement agencies to enforce more strictly the existing laws
designed to regulate and control the liquor traffic.
PENAL INSTITUTIONS
We believe that a serious need exists in Massachusetts for a more genuine
approach to the problems related to the handling of criminal offenders, particu-
larly in regard to their commitment to penal institutions and in respect to their
rehabilitation.
We therefore urge support for House Bill 48, providing for an investigation
and study by a special commission of the laws of the Commonwealth relating to
the sentencing, treatment, and release of prisoners.
We trust that as a result of this study, more effective methods may be developed
for preventing crime and for reclaiming all types of criminal offenders. We believe
that more adequate provisions should be made for an effective spiritual ministry
through more adequate provisions for the services of chaplains 'among those con-
fined to penal institutions.
36 Minutes [1951
GAMBLING
During the past year significant gains have been made by way of exposing the
evils of organized gambling in America and by way of curtailing gambling activities.
Therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we
1. Express our appreciation to the members of the Massachusetts General
Court for defeating the various legislative proposals designed to legalize and
extend the practices of gambling.
2. Express appreciation to the members of the Legislative Committee of the
Council of Churches, to the cooperating denominations, churches, and other
organizations that assisted in the campaign to defeat the state lottery referendum
in November, 1950.
3. Express appreciation to the members of the Kefauver Committee in the
United States Senate for their exposure of organized gambling and of many of
those responsible for it in the United States.
4. Express appreciation to our Massachusetts newspapers for their editorial
opposition to gambling and for their generous sharing with their readers of the
crucial facts relative to the gambling evil.
Be it further
RESOLVED: That we urge all of our churches and our people
1. To refrain from participating in activities of a gambling nature;
2. To resist and oppose patterns of gambling in organizations with which we
are associated;
3. To call upon enforcement agencies to enforce the state laws against gambling
where they are being violated.
DISPLACED PERSONS
Since the Displaced Persons Act was passed by Congress in June, 1948, an
estimated 500 Displaced Persons have been brought to Massachusetts through
the cooperation of our churches and Congregational families. We have had most
generous and effective cooperation in helping these people from the Displaced
Persons Committee and members of the East Walpole church. Generous and
substantia] help, financial and personal, has also been given by a number of inter-
ested friends. Some of these have served as interpreters, temporary sponsors,
and have shared the use of their cars to help us in our Displaced Persons work.
Therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we
1. Express sincere appreciation to the East Walpole church and its Displaced
Persons Committee, and to other individuals who have had a share in this important
work;
2. Express appreciation especially to the churches and to the individuals and
families who have served as sponsors for Displaced Persons since June, 1948.
1951] Minutes 37
Be it further
RESOLVED: That we urge our churches to continue their support of this
program until it shall have been completed.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
We appreciate the progress made in some communities in the direction of im-
proved public school buildings and increased salaries for teachers. We commend
the Massachusetts General Court for passing Chapter 276 of the Acts of 1951,
establishing standards of certification of teachers in Massachusetts public schools.
However, we regret that Massachusetts still lags behind many of the other states
by way of securing needed improvement in its educational facilities. We com-
mend to the people in our churches a greater interest in the problems and needs
of our public schools.
CIVIL RIGHTS AND RACE RELATIONS
We believe that Christians in times of international crisis have a great oppor-
tunity to lead their community thinking in terms of calm, rational and tolerant
regard for the views of others, relying on the power of the truth to prevail over
errors. Therefore, in this time of world confusion, we retain our faith in the
traditional American civil liberties and civil rights which have weathered many
storms. We urge the defeat of any legislation aimed at curtailing them.
We urge the support of the program of civil rights outlined in the report of the
President's Committee on Civil Rights, and entitled, "To Secure These Rights."
Progress in implementing this report has been achieved in the armed forces. We
congratulate the armed forces in view of the progress made in reducing segregation
and strongly recommend continued efforts to wipe it out wherever it exists.
The important recommendation for Federal fair employment practice remains
to be enacted. It is gratifying to note that Massachusetts has enacted both fair
employment practice laws and fair education practice laws, and they have received
wide support throughout the Commonwealth.
We urge our churches to exercise their consciences in the light of Christian
teachings on the matter of race, and to be ever on their guard against the danger
of wittingly or unwittingly condoning or supporting racial separateness in any form.
The Resolution on International Relations, after amendment,
was adopted as follows :
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Realizing that the future of our nation and the world, the decision between
peace and war, will be determined by the trend of international developments
within the next few years, and especially by adherence to fundamental Christian
principles in our dealings with other peoples, we strongly urge our citizens as well
as our leaders in Washington to endorse the following recommendations in the
field of foreign policy :
38 Minutes [1951
1. Support of the United Nations. The hope of resolving international tensions
and removing conflicts which are always likely to arise among nations rests with
the willingness of states to abide by the rulings of the world organization or the
ability of the United Nations to enforce its decisions. We recommend, therefore,
that in the formulation of its foreign policy, the United States make every effort
to work with and through the United Nations. We suggest that greater emphasis
on spiritual values within the United Nations could improve its practical useful-
ness and help to combat fanatical religious tensions in many areas threatening
to lead to explosions and cruelty. In this connection we urge our leaders to use
their influence to encourage United Nations member states to grant unqualified
religious freedom to their citizens, generally, and to religious minorities in their
midst, in particular.
2. War and Peace: The outbreak of armed conflict in Korea, since our last
' Annual Meeting, prompts us to point to this clear lesson, shown twice in thirty
years that military victory is no solution to international difficulties. It is there-
fore imperative that we keep in mind the constant necessity of emphasizing the
moral and spiritual principles which must underlie any genuine peace; and that
we seek to give them substance through practical measures of aid and assistance,
such as the Point 4 Program, and by supporting the declaration of human rights
as proposed through the United Nations, in applications both at home and abroad.
3. Forceful leadership in the constant fight against hunger, disease, poverty,
illiteracy and general backwardness. This fight is both a humane and Christian
obligation and a wise long-range measure to prevent the kind of widespread despair
which so often leads to the growth of false ideologies, revolutions and wars.
4. Exchange of students and teachers: The program of exchanging students
and teachers provides vast possibilities of promoting better understanding between
the United States and other countries.
MANAGEMENT AND LABOR
' WHEREAS: The present and future welfare of many communities in our
Commonwealth is closely linked with the problems of understanding and good
will in industries of this area; and
WHEREAS: Justice and a sense of achievement in the earning of livelihood
are important aspects of the Christian ideal of wholesome daily living; therefore
be it
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society urges management and labor to approach their mutual tensions
in a spirit of determination to find just and fair solutions in the interests of the
common good; and
Be it further
RESOLVED: That we offer our good offices to help representatives of labor
and management to explore and to determine the facts which underlie industrial
tensions in Massachusetts.
1951] Minutes 39
Resolutions of appreciation were presented by Mrs. Albert W. Patton of the
Business Committee, and were adopted as follows :
RESOLVED: That we express our sincere appreciation to all who have carried
the responsibility of promoting and purchasing our Conference Center at Framing-
ham; and also to those who are committed to the task of raising the funds necessary
for paying for the property, the financing of needed improvements and the estab-
lishing of reserve funds for further maintenance.
Be it further
RESOLVED: That we commend the people of our churches for their responsive-
ness in contributing to the Conference Center funds and urge upon them the
necessity of continued support.
Furthermore:
We express our appreciation for the contribution made to the program of our
Annual Meeting by the Dedication program on Sunday afternoon;
And express our hope that an annual event of some nature be held at the Center,
whereby we may bring together our Massachusetts Congregational family in a
similar fashion as that of Sunday afternoon.
RESOLVED: That we extend our deep and heartfelt appreciation
1. To Grace Congregational Church, with special recognition of the outstand-
ing services rendered by the Hospitality and Arrangements Committee, and the
pastor;
2. To Wesley Methodist Church for its gracious and efficient cooperation with
Grace Church in extending hospitality to the delegates of this Conference;
3. To Plymouth and Edwards Churches, Framingham, to the Congregational
churches of Natick, Holliston and Hopkinton, and to the Federated Church,
Ashland, for their kindly entertainment of delegates;
4. To Mr. John R. Macomber for his kindness and neighborly spirit in making
available to the Conference, for parking, Raceland;
5. To Mr. H. S. Owen for making ready the pastures of the State Conference
Center for parking during the period of the State meetings;
6. To Chief McCarthy of the Framingham Police Department and his staff
of officers, for their courtesy and patience and warmth of friendliness to the dele-
gates, ministers and visitors attending the State Conference meetings ;
7. To the Press, who have given full coverage of all the meetings of the Con-
ference.
It was also voted
THAT, forasmuch as these resolutions are intended for the
guidance of our churches throughout the State, we recommend
that this body request the ministers of the various churches to
read or otherwise publicize them.

Chaplain Coe:
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast established thy Church, and hast
built it upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone, increase and multiply the strength and devotion of
thy people; recall us to the heritage of our faith and to thy most holy Word; and
so support the walls of Zion that thy Church may be the stronghold of thy right-
eousness and the true home of the redeemed, both now and always; through him
who is our only Saviour and our Lord, even Jesus Christ, to whom, with thee and
the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

1951] Report of the Treasurer 49
May 8, 1951
Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President,
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts.
Sir:
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference and Missionary Society and of Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society, Trustee, as at March 31, 1951, and the related statements of
income for the year ended at that date. Our examination was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests
of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1951, were veri-
fied by inspection, and we confirmed the cash in banks and in offices at that date.
As of April 1, 1950, all restricted funds ($221,016.58), held by the Society,
and unexpended income of such funds, were transferred to the Society as Trustee.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Society and of the Society as
Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1951, and the results of their operations for the
year ended at that date in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
PATTERSON, TEELE AND DENNIS
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-four cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Sixteen cents of the twenty-four goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

churches in the Boston Area. All members of the Corporation and the Board of
Directors are members of the Congregational Christian churches in Metropolitan

Boston Community Council, the New England Camping Association, and in the
American Conference of Church Social Work. The program of the Society includes
family case-work, religious social work; city agency referral service, with churches,
public and private social agencies; Boston Summer Service Group (Vacation Church
Schools) ; leadership training in Boston Area churches; summer camps, Waldron and
Andover, for boys and girls at Meredith, New Hampshire; Camp Rosemary for

Financial support for this work comes from interested individuals, churches and
endowment funds. No income is received from Community Fund or denomina-
tional sources.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CONFERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the
church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval
of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the President or
Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
9. We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1950-1951 by placing the reference § before the names of
these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches and
Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year
the letter "d" appears after the reference §. Where the pastor's service ended
during the year, the reference "f " appears. Special grants will be listed, as usual,
on the following page.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise :
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday school membership, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These
tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference in 1887^ are made to conform to those in
the Year Book;
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment" ;
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post
office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address,
and a cross reference on the page where the post office name would naturally be found
will direct the reader to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1951. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1950. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars January 1, 1951, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools", "mission schools" and "home departments" so far as maintained by the
reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will
be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the
"Minutes" of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and installation
of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local Associations
which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are: .
"Ord." — Ordained ,.. "Ab." — Absentee
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
"Ma," — Male "D." — Death
"To." or "T." — Total ' "L." — Letter
Reference marks are used as follows:
[] Around a pastor's name signify he is not in full standing as a Congregational Christian
minister, nor a denominational licentiate, nor an approved lay preacher, nor a candidate
in care of a local association.
y Pastor serves more than one church. x Includes cost of new building or improvements.
i Pastor installed by Council. — No answer can be given.
r Pastor recognized by Council. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
■m Approximate number of men. ic Per Capita paid in full by church.
c Sunday School membership includes
Cradle Roll.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday School and
young people's organizations, also home expense and value of property, are inserted from the
previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done
that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing
the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent" are included in the "Total." Amount of
"Home Expenses ' includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating
expenses and repairs for church, Sunday School, choir and parish. An x before "Value Church
Property" denotes expenditures for new buildings or improvements during the year. The total
expended is given at the end of the Conference schedule.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church.
Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young
people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the churches grouped
together in the federated church.

CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agree-

wish any part of their property to be applied to our work after their
death, and desire an assured income from their property for them-
selves, or for others whom they may designate as beneficiaries, as long
as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning such
annuity agreements is invited.
<i^S5S^Si*J>
TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $4,000,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799,
in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the
theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for
the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of
salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the
glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of
our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian
ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel
Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary
Society of Massachusetts Proper were united under the name of the Massachusetts
Missionary Society. This meant that while the Domestic Missionary Society of
Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the Massachusetts Missionary Society was
henceforth to work almost exclusively in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home"
Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the
Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of
America.
The Massachusetts Home Missionary Society and the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference were united under the name of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society in 1927. This was the result of
twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National
Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was
used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. The Massachusetts
Congregational Conference and Missionary Society assumes responsibility for all
Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts. It supports a staff of
eleven persons who give ministerial and executive leadership to a broad program
of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellowship of the ministers
and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denominational and inter-
denominational projects and programs.
At the Annual Meeting of 1952 it was voted by a large majority of those present
and voting to change the name of the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society to the "Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference."
A number of legal steps, however, remain to be taken before this change is ac-
complished.
BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference"' is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex ofEciis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.
6 By-Laws [1952
ARTICLE V
Officers
1. There shall be a Moderator, one or more vice-Moderators, a Recording
Secretary, a Chairman and a vice-Chairman of the Department of Woman's Work
(See Article VIII, Sec. 1, (b)), a Chairman and vice-Chairman of the Massachusetts
Congregational Laymen's Council (See Article VIII, Sec. 2, (b)), all of whom shall
be nominated by the Nominating Committee hereinafter provided for, and elected
by ballot at each annual meeting of the Conference for a term of one year and until
their respective successors are chosen.
2. The executive officers of the Conference shall be a President, a Secretary, a
Treasurer, Field Secretaries, a Director of Woman's Work, a Secretary of Missions
and Stewardship, and a Secretary of Religious Education. These officers shall
constitute the Executive Staff. They shall be nominated by the Board of Trustees
meeting in executive session, and elected by ballot at each annual meeting of the
Conference for a term of one year and until their respective successors are chosen.
They shall bear such additional titles as the Conference or the Board of Trustees
may determine.
3. The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees consisting of one
member from each Association of churches, and six members-at-large who shall be
known for their special knowledge of financial affairs, of whom one shall be chosen
each even-numbered year and two, — beginning with the year 1935, — each odd-
numbered year. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Woman's Department,
the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Massachusetts Laymen's Council, the
President of the Massachusetts Pilgrim Fellowship and one Vice President (nomi-
nated by its executive committee), the Chairman of the Congregational Center
Committee, and the Moderator shall also be members ex officiis. One-third of the
representatives of the Associations upon the Board shall be ministers, one-third
laymen, and one-third laywomen as nearly as may be. Nine members shall consti-
tute a quorum. The term of office shall be four years, and no member having served
a full term shall be eligible for re-election until after one year, but members-at-large,
chosen for their knowledge of financial affairs, may serve for two consecutive terms.
The present Trustees shall remain in office until the expiration of their terms.
The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from which
Trustees are to be chosen in the successive years and determine whether the
Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a
candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such candidate should be
a minister, a layman or a laywoman, and the names of such candidates shall be
reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the
receipt of these names shall communicate them to the nominating committee on
or before April 10. In case any Association fails to propose a candidate the Board
of Trustees shall perform this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall
commence at the close of the 1933 Conference.
At its first meeting after each annual meeting of the Conference the Board shall
choose one of its members to serve as chairman for the ensuing year. Except as
otherwise provided in the charter of the Conference or in these by-laws, the Board
1952] By-Laws 7
shall administer and dispose of the property of the Conference and shall manage
all its business and affairs, and all officers and agents of the Conference shall act
under its direction. The Board shall cause the accounts of the Treasurer to be
audited at least once each year by certified public accountants selected by the Board.
Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, the Board shall in particular
have the following powers:
(a) To choose a Clerk, to appoint its own meetings and form its own rules of
business, to appoint sub-committees and to delegate any of its powers to
such committees.
(b) To appoint and, at pleasure, remove all agents of the Conference and to
define their duties.
(c) To fill any vacancy in any office of the Conference (including vacancies
in the membership of the Board) until the vacancy shall be filled at a
succeeding meeting of the Conference.
(d) To remove any officer of the Conference (other than members of the
Board) who may be guilty of disregard of his duties or of such conduct
as shall be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the Conference.
(e) To direct efforts to promote missionary interest and giving among the
Congregational churches of the Commonwealth.
4. The terms of all officers, save when chosen to fill vacancies, shall begin at the
close of the meeting at which they are elected.

1. No person who has attained the age of seventy years shall continue as a
member of the Executive Staff. With respect to employees not members of the
Executive Staff, it shall be the policy of the Conference to retire every such em-
ployee upon his or her attaining the age of seventy years, provided, however, that
this shall not affect the power of the Trustees temporarily to employ from time to

staff) whenever in particular cases the Trustees shall deem such temporary employ-
ment essential to the efficient conduct of the Conference's work.
2. Ordained ministers who are members of the executive staff shall be expected
to be members of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, and the Con-

each year an amount equal to 8% of the charge on his salary, less such amount as
the Conference shall pay the United States for his Social Security.
3. Lay members of the office staff shall be expected to be, so far as practicable,

THA T the Allotment assessments for the year be twenty-four cents per member,
as at present: sixteen cents for the General Council and eight cents for the Con-
ference.
THAT, acting in accordance with the provisions of Article XVII of the By-Laws,
Article VII, Section 2, of the By-Laws be amended by adding to the end thereof,
and that Article VII, Section 3, of the By-Laws be amended by adding at the end
of the first sentence thereof, the words "less such amount as the Conference shall pay
the United States for his Social Security," so that Article VII, Section 2 and Section 3,
shall read as follows:
"2. Ordained ministers who are members of the executive staff shall be expected
to be members of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, and the Con-
ference shall not provide for them any other retirement annuity, except in the case
of ministers who are now members under the Original Plan. Toward each annual
premium in the Annuity Fund of any member of the staff the Conference shall pay
each year an amount equal to 8% of the charge on his salary, less such amount as
the Conference shall pay the United States for his Social Security.
3. Lay members of the office staff shall be expected to be, so far as practicable,
members of the Retirement Fund for Lay Workers, and the Conference shall pay,
as the annual premium for each lay worker who is a member of the Fund, 8% of
the charge on his salary, less such amount as the Conference shall pay the United
States for his Social Security."
THAT, to make Article V, Section 3, of the By-Laws consistent with the action

numbered year. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Woman's Department,
the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Massachusetts Laymen's Council, the
President of the Massachusetts Pilgrim Fellowship and one Vice President (nomi-
nated by its executive committee), the Chairman of the Congregational Center
Committee, and the Moderator shall also be members ex officiis. One-third of the
representatives of the Associations upon the Board shall be ministers. . . etc."

1952] Minutes 33

Laws be amended by striking out the words "and Missionary
Society" were tabled until Thursday.
Mr. Robertson, Chairman of the Business Committee, intro-
duced Mr. Julian Steele, who presented a resolution on industrial
relations, which was adopted as follows :
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
WHEREAS many of our communities are suffering or being threatened with
economic dislocation and consequent deterioration of social and spiritual standards
due to loss of industries, particularly textile mills, essential to their well-being, and
WHEREAS these conditions are brought about by a combination of factors
including differences between labor and management, obstacles in the way of
modernization, and lack of understanding of the problems with resultant attitudes
of bias or indifferences in the community, and
WHEREAS in our conferences with leaders of management and labor we have
found them to be men of integrity and possessed of the vision and wisdom required
to realize their obligations to the community and to recognize that bias and prejudice
are detrimental to both management and labor, and
WHEREAS the welfare of our communities is and should be a prime concern of
our churches, and
WHEREAS it is obvious that this welfare is never enhanced by public attitudes
of prejudice or indifference; therefore be it
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Council of Churches be asked to offer
moral leadership for the correction of these adverse conditions; that its clergy and
laity make every effort and be given every opportunity to acquaint themselves
with the nature of the problems, that without bias or prejudice toward either, they
encourage labor and management to respect the basic moral rights of each other;
and that they interest other community groups in helping to create a climate of
understanding and good will which will make it possible for them to act cooperatively
to the benefit of each other and the whole community.
Mr. Robertson introduced Rev. Donald A. Simpson, who
presented a resolution on immigration laws, which after amend-
ment was adopted as follows :
IMMIGRATION LAWS
WHEREAS the events of recent years have brought many changes in the status
of nations and their peoples, resulting in new and desperate needs on the part of
peoples in the old world to find a new homeland, and
WHEREAS it has been the custom of our country to receive each year numbers
of immigrants from other countries on the basis of quotas agreed upon years ago,
and
WHEREAS existing quota agreements and present immigration laws do not
represent a realistic and equitable way of recognizing and meeting the needs of
various peoples for resettlement, so that a revision of present immigration laws is
most desirable at this time, and
34 Minutes [1952
WHEREAS Senate bill 2842 commends itself to us as a step in the right direction,
because it would remove racial discriminations from our immigration law, base
immigration quotas on the 1950, instead of 1920, population statistics, pool certain
unused quotas and make them available for other peoples in a position to use them,
remove the mortgages on certain quotas occasioned by the coming of D.P.'s, and
permit the entry into our country of more people whose specialized experience and
skills are urgently needed in America; therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we urge our representatives in Washington to support Senate
Bill 2842, and House Bill HJR 411, allowing 7,500 more D.P.'s to enter the United
States, so completing our country's commitment quota.

Mr. Robertson presented the following resolutions, which were
accepted with one dissenting vote :
Be it RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference in Annual
Meeting assembled, on May 21, 1952, recommend to the General Council that while
the proposed merger of the Congregational Christian Churches with the Evangelical
and Reformed Church is in abeyance, no definitive action, and no action of any
sort should be taken, pending final judgment of the courts, which would in any
way conflict with the due process of law or jeopardize the rights and standing of the
General Council in the eyes of the law.
Be it RESOLVED: That we recommend that the General Council either (a)
request the Committee on Free Church Polity and Unity, that in connection with
its study of the principles for the spiritual and legal methods for the participation of
free autonomous fellowships in the ecumenical movement, it include in its duties the
drawing up, in consultation with the Evangelical and Reformed Church, of a
tentative constitution for union with them that would be consistent with the prin-
ciples set down by the Committee, or (b) appoint a special Committee for that
purpose; said tentative" constitution to be presented to the churches for discussion
and to the General Council of 1954.
On behalf of the Social Action Committee, the Business Com-
mittee presented a resolution on Relations with Japan, which
after amendment was unanimously adopted as follows :
RELATIONS WITH JAPAN
WHEREAS we look with satisfaction upon the recent enactment of a peace
treaty with Japan and we believe that this represents a forward step in the establish-
ment of an enduring community of nations, and
WHEREAS we recognize that Japan needs more continued help from America,
therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we urge our representatives in Washington to support such
measures as would encourage the establishment of a healthy Japanese peace
economy, and to be on guard against the kind of economic policies which would
prevent Japan from achieving economic recovery and which might force her into
closer relations with Communist China.

follows:
ARAB REFUGEES
WHEREAS American Christians have a great responsibility for the 750,000
Arab refugees whose homeless plight, as a result of the recent Palestinian crisis, is
one of the outstanding human tragedies of our time, and
WHEREAS they are victims of population displacements related to war and
shifting national boundaries, resulting from the operation of forces beyond their
control, and
WHEREAS we, as Christians, must bear our share of responsibility for the
plights and needs of these unfortunate people; therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we call upon our Congregational Christian Service Committee
and the National Council of Churches of Christ in America, to find ways and means
of effectively publicizing the plight of these people and of bringing to bear the full
weight of Christian conscience in helping to find a solution for this human tragedy.
And be it further
RESOLVED: That our individual churches designate a two- weeks period for
the collection of clothing for these refugees, and notify American Middle East
Relief, Inc., Empire State Building, New York City.
1952] Minutes 37
A further resolution, on Social Action, was adopted as follows:
SOCIAL ACTION
WHEREAS we believe that the ideals of Jesus Christ and the ethical principles
set forth in the Christian gospel represent the best guidance we have for the solution
of social problems, and
WHEREAS we believe that most of the present ills of society can be traced to the
materialism ai)d secularism of our society and the unwillingness and inability of our
people and their leaders to apply Christian ethics to our problems, and
WHEREAS we believe that our churches, working under the guidance of our
social action leaders — local, state and national — may be of tremendous help in
bringing about greater consideration for the Christian approach in social questions;
therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we urge our churches and our people to give more thought,
more prayer, more time and effort to our social action work, in our local churches and
associations, through our State Committee, and the departments of the State
Conference, and in cooperation with the essential work of the Congregational
Council for Social Action; and be it further
RESOLVED: That we go on record as favoring the continuance of the Council
for Social Action.
Mr. Francis M. Loud presented a resolution on Temperance*
which was adopted as follows:
TEMPERANCE
WHEREAS intemperance is an increasingly disturbing factor in American life,
contributing to the widespread breakdown of family life, an increase in industrial
and traffic accidents, crimes and delinquency, and
WHEREAS the increasingly effective advertising of liquor tends to increase the
social problems associated with it; be it therefore
RESOLVED: That we call upon our ministers and churches to provide more
adequate education concerning the evils and dangers associated with the use of
alcohol, commending temperance as a wise rule of prudence in respect to intoxicating
liquors; and be it further
RESOLVED: That we call upon local commissions and the state Alcoholic
Beverage Control Commission to exercise the utmost of caution in respect to the
granting of liquor licenses, and that we request of law enforcement agencies a more
faithful enforcement of Massachusetts laws relating to liquor violations.
38 Minutes [1952
Mr. Loud then presented resolutions on Gambling and on
Corruption, which were adopted as follows:
GAMBLING
WHEREAS during the past year significant gains have been made by way of
exposing the evils of organized gambling, therefore be it
RESOLVED That:
We express our appreciation to the Massachusetts General Court for defeating
in its present session various legislative proposals designed to legalize and extend
the scope of gambling in Massachusetts;
We call upon our churches for continued education against the evils of gambling;
We request law enforcement agencies for a more faithful enforcement of Massa-
chusetts law, especially Chapters 137 and 271, with respect to lotteries, raffles and
other types of illegal gambling.
CORRUPTION
WHEREAS we are continually made aware of corruption in high places of
authority both in public and private life, and
WHEREAS we believe that the foundations of American democracy are based
on the Christian principles of honesty, integrity and service to one's fellow men
be it
RESOLVED: That this Conference urge prompt and vigorous action through
duly constituted officials and agencies in stamping out these corruptive influences
whenever and wherever they may appear; and be it further
RESOLVED: That if it is necessary to create, through governmental action,
special agencies or commissions to bring about these results, that this Conference
ask its Social Action Committee, in the name of the Conference, to take such steps
as may implement this resolution.
Mr. Robertson presented a resolution on Rehabilitation for
Prisoners, which was adopted as follows:
REHABILITATION FOR PRISONERS
WHEREAS great numbers of juveniles and adults in the penal and correctional
institutions of our Commonwealth are in dire need of the ministry of Christian
friendliness, and
WHEREAS practically all of these persons will be returned to the communities
upon release from these institutions; be it
RESOLVED: That the churches of this Conference give serious concern to the
unusual problems of these people, and that they be urged to develop and carry
forward a sponsorship plan to help them, through the Social Action Committees
of the Conference, Associations and churches; be it further
RESOLVED: That this Conference recognizes with appreciation the work already
done in this area of need by the Social Ethics Department of the Boston University
School of Theology and that we look with favor toward the further extension of this
program among other denominations.
1952] Minutes 39
A resolution on Civil Liberties was presented by Mr. Simpson,
and also one on Race Relations. These were adopted as follows:
CIVIL LIBERTIES
WHEREAS there has been a tendency on the part of many people to apply
irresponsibly such labels and epithets as "Communist" and "subversive" to all
persons of liberal views who dare to speak in the interest of social justice and reform,
and
WHEREAS the concept of "guilt by association" and the readiness of many to
consider individuals or organizations to be guilty of subversive conduct merely
because they have been accused, endanger basic civil rights and interfere with normal
American courses of thought and action; therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we condemn the kind of loose talk in public utterances and
loose wording in legislation, purporting to control subversives, which results in
unnecessary injury to innocent people and which makes for fear and confusion
among the friends of freedom at home and abroad.
RACE RELATIONS
WHEREAS we are justly proud of what our denomination has accomplished
through its educational institutions in the interest of genuine brotherhood, and
WHEREAS there remains a great opportunity for continued leadership, par-
ticularly through individual churches, by encouraging non-white Christians in their
parishes, who are not affiliated with a church, to join the local churches; and by
recognizing and encouraging potential leadership in such groups to be more active in
church affairs; we express the hope that the time is at hand when more of our
churches and denominational boards will avail themselves of the contributions that
individuals of minority groups can make by serving them; and
WHEREAS our Christian conscience cannot rest until the brotherhood of man
is a reality in every phase of human relations and all men are recognized for their
brotherhood, through their common father, God; be it therefore
RESOLVED: That we call upon our churches to continue in the great tradition of
Congregationalism in the field of race relations.
It was then voted
THAT all of the resolutions offered by the Social Action Committee be adopted
as a group.
It was also voted
THA T all resolutions to be presented at an annual meeting of the Conference be
printed, as far as possible, in the Advance Reports.

God of righteousness and justice, who hast called us to be thine alone, with a
heartening sense of community we bespeak thy benediction upon us. From our
togetherness we go now, each to serve thee in his own way and his own place,
knowing that every place and way thou hast made. Strengthen among us, therefore,
the bond of unity that none need walk alone. As thou hast bound us to thyself,
so bind us one to the other in the wonder of thy love, that we may ever, in utter
confidence, know ourselves to be strong whose strength is placed in thee. Make us
to be articulate spokesmen for thy way, that all who look to us for Christian nurture
may see thee in us. Fill us with thy truth and make thy church a power for peace
by our commitment to Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

1952] Report of the Treasurer 51
May 14, 1952
Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society,
Boston, Massachusetts.
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Confer-
ence and Missionary Society and of Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society, Trustee, as at March 31, 1952, and the related statements of
income for the year ended at that date. Our examination was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests
of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1952, were verified
by inspection, and we confirmed the cash in banks and in offices at that date.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Society and of the Society as
Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1952, and the results of their operations for the
year ended at that date in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
PATTERSON, TEELE AND DENNIS
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-four cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Sixteen cents of the twenty-four goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CONFERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the
church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval
of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the President or
Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
9. We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1951-1952 by placing the reference § before the names of
these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches and
Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year
the letter "d" appears after the reference §. Where the pastor's service ended
during the year, the reference "f" appears. Special grants will be listed, as usual,
on the following page.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday school membership, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These
tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book;
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment";
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post
office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address
(or in some cases, the political township) , and a cross reference on the page where the
post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1952. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1951. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars January 1, 1952, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools", "mission schools" and "home departments" so far as maintained by the
reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will
be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the
"Minutes" of each year. Months and days in the dates of ordination of Congregational
ministers may be found in the lists of the local Associations which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are:
"Ord." — Ordained "Ab." — Absentee
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
"Ma." — Male "D." — Death
"To." or "T." — Total "L." — Letter
Reference marks are used as follows:
[] Around a pastor's name signify he is not in full standing as a Congregational Christian
minister, nor a denominational licentiate, nor an approved lay preacher, nor a candidate
in care of a local association.
y Pastor serves more than one church. x Includes cost of new building or improvements.
i Pastor installed by Council. — No answer can be given.
r Pastor recognized by Council. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
m Approximate number of men. -fc Per Capita paid in full by church.
c Sunday School membership includes
Cradle Roll.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday School and
young people's organizations, also home expense and value of property, are inserted from the
previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done
that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing
the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent" are included in the "Total." Amount of
"Home Expenses" includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating
expenses and repairs for church, Sunday School, choir and parish. An x before "Value Church
Property" denotes expenditures for new buildings or improvements during the year. The total
expended is given at the end of the Conference schedule.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church.
Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young
people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the churches grouped
together in the federated church.

wish any part of their property to be applied to our work after their
death, and desire an assured income from their property for them-
selves, or for others whom they may designate as beneficiaries, as long
as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning such
annuity agreements is invited.
<2rtS^/^«<J>
TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $5,000,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799,
in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the
theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for
the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of
salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the
glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of
our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian
ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel
Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary
Society of Massachusetts Proper were united under the name of the Massachusetts
Missionary Society. This meant that while the Domestic Missionary Society of
Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the Massachusetts Missionary Society was
henceforth to work almost exclusively in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home"
Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the
Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of
America.
The Massachusetts Home Missionary Society and the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference were united under the name of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society in 1927. This was the result of
twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National
Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was
used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. The Massachusetts
Congregational Conference and Missionary Society assumes responsibility for all
Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts. It supports a staff of
eleven persons who give ministerial and executive leadership to a broad program
of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellowship of the ministers
and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denominational and inter-
denominational projects and programs.

BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CONFER-
ENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officiis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.

Mr. Whipple, for the Trustees, introduced two motions, both
of which were adopted.
THA T the Conference take from the undesignated gifts to Our Christian World
Mission an amount sufficient to make the total appropriation to the Conference
equal to 15% of the total giving to Our Christian World Mission, plus 1% for the
Boston Seaman's Friend Society.
THAT the Allotment assessments for the year of twenty-eight cents, eight cents
for the Conference and twenty cents for the General Council, be accepted as a
recommendation of the Trustees.
A third recommendation of the Trustees was adopted unani-
mously, as follows:
WHEREAS the Conference at its annual meeting in May 1952, by vote of all
but six of its members present and voting, authorized the change of its name from
Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society to Massachusetts
Congregational Christian Conference; and
WHEREAS the provisions of Chapter 155, Section 10 of the General Laws with
respect to the change of the name of a religious corporation were satisfied by a
two-thirds vote of the voting members so far as ministers and delegates were con-
cerned but not so far as committee members of the Conference were concerned
because two-thirds of such members were not present and voting at said Conference;
NOW, therefore, since the provisions of Chapter 155, Section 10 of the General
Laws cannot be strictly satisfied, it is
VOTED: That the proper officers of the corporation be authorized to petition
the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation for the change of name of the
corporation from Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society to Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, all in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 180, Section 11 of the General Laws.

A resolution from Middlesex Union Association was presented
by the Scribe, Rev. Robert C. Crawford, as follows:
WHEREAS the General Council at its last meeting abolished the Unit System

nominees submitted by each church in the Association, and
1953] Minutes 33
WHEREAS Middlesex Union Association has adopted a plan for electing its
delegates under the new constitutional provisions, and
WHEREAS it might be helpful to other Associations to benefit from this study
made by Middlesex Union, and
WHEREAS Middlesex Union has suggested certain amendments to the General
Council Constitution relating to the election of delegates, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That the Trustees are requested to provide copies of this plan
for all Association Scribes and if they deem it advisable, copies for individual
churches and that the Scribes be asked to present the subject at the fall meetings
of their Associations, and be it further
RESOLVED: That the Trustees be requested to study the suggestions of the
Middlesex Union and any other proposals, and if they deem it advisable, to file
the amendments with the General Council in time for action at its 1954 meeting.
An amendment to refer this matter to the Trustees, without
opinion, was adopted and the resolution so amended was voted.

Life, as printed on page 26 in the Advance Reports, was referred

was amended. (After further amendment at a later session, the
resolution was adopted as it appears in the minutes of the
Wednesday morning session.
Mrs. Harrington presented a resolution of the Social Action
Committee on Juvenile Delinquency, which was adopted as
follows :
Inasmuch as there is a general rise in juvenile delinquency throughout the
state and since much of it manifests itself in the early years of childhood
WE RECOMMEND: That the churches of our Conference concern themselves
with a more thoroughgoing program of character training for children and guidance
for parents in the interest of Christian family life. This program should include
week-day activities, adapted to all ages of children and youth, such as are being
carried on by a number of our churches with excellent results by way of correcting
tendencies toward delinquency.
Although a beginning has been made in the program, presented last year by
the Social Action Committee of the Conference
WE RECOMMEND: That the churches work out with the proper authorities,
ways in which they may be of assistance to juveniles and adults within the correc-
tional and penal institutions of our state and that they take a deeper interest than
they have yet shown in the parolees from these institutions.
Rev. Rolland G. Ewing, on behalf of the same committee,
presented a resolution on Constitutional Rights, which was
adopted as follows:
WHEREAS deep anxieties and fears have been aroused in the minds of our
people by the ominous threats and tensions of our present international situation
AND WHEREAS such anxieties and fears tend to lead into repressive and unfair
measures and procedures that flout the Constitution of our nation and to under-
mine the fundamental human rights which it defines and seeks to guarantee
AND WHEREAS we hold as part of our Christian faith a belief in the dignity
and worth, the freedom and responsibility of each individual human being
AND WHEREAS we concur in the resolution of the General Board of the
National Council of Churches adopted by an overwhelming vote at its March
meeting, warning against abuse of the Congressional power to investigate
1953] Minutes 35
AND WHEREAS we look to the National Council for continuing leadership in
this field, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we commend to our churches the extensive use of the
excellent materials prepared and made available by the Massachusetts Council
of Churches on "The Roots of Freedom" and the fundamental importance of our
Constitutional rights and liberties
AND WHEREAS we are so unalterably opposed to communism or any other
totalitarian system of thought and practice that we feel we must not substitute
such repressive principles and methods for the Constitutional freedoms which have
made our nation the great democracy that it is, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we renew our devotion to the fundamental freedoms and
make known our opposition to anything which denies or threatens them in our
respective communities, our Commonwealth, our nation and throughout the world.
Continuing for the Social Action Committee, Rev. Oliver
Powell read the resolution on Social Action in Industrial Rela-
tions, which was adopted as follows:
WHEREAS tensions and conflicts in the area of labor-management relations
constitute an ever-present threat of economic and social disruption affecting the
public welfare, domestic production, international trade and national security, and
WHEREAS prosperity, progress and the material well-being of individuals and
communities depend upon the satisfactory resolution of the causes of these tensions
and conflicts, and
WHEREAS this should be dealt with as a problem in human relations and
Christian ethics, which can only be solved by full understanding and acceptance
of the responsibility of labor and management to each other and of both to the
community and of the community to them, and
WHEREAS moral leadership in the community is a responsibility of the
churches; be it
RESOLVED: That we accept and fulfill this obligation by instituting programs
designed to create a climate of understanding and dispel the prejudices, suspicions
and distrusts which prevent constructive, cooperative action; that such problems
include study and discussion of labor and management problems on all levels;
labor and management forums, panels and off-the-record conferences; and the
employment of such other techniques as may be developed and found efficacious.
36 Minutes [1953
The resolution on Temperance Education and Liquor Control,
read by Mr. Robert Ames, was adopted as follows:
TEMPERANCE EDUCATION AND LIQUOR CONTROL
WHEREAS the problem of intemperance is becoming increasingly widespread
in the United States and is a contributing factor in crime, traffic accidents, divorce
and broken homes, and ill health, and
WHEREAS the colorful and glamorous advertising of liquor stirs the imagina-
tion of youth and creates a distorted conception of the nature and value of alcoholic
beverages, be it
RESOLVED: That more effective educational programs are needed in our
churches and affiliated organizations, schools and colleges to share with young
people and adults the facts and dangers related to the use of alcohol and that more
emphasis be given in such programs to the principle of total abstinence as a wise
rule of personal conduct in respect to alcoholic beverages,
Be it also RESOLVED: That we call upon the Committee on Legislation of the
Massachusetts Council of Churches to give consideration to such varied systems
of handling the sale of alcoholic beverages as are in operation in Sweden and certain
American states in which the handling of the sale of liquor seems not to be accom-
panied by such disastrous consequences as are inherent in the present method in
operation in Massachusetts.
Mr. Blossom presented a resolution on Gambling, which was
adopted. (After an amendment at a later session, this resolution
was as it appears in the minutes of the Wednesday morning
session.)
Mr. Blossom introduced the following resolution on behalf of
Mr. Charles Norris of Northampton, and it was adopted:
WHEREAS legislation has been introduced in the Congress of the United
States, the intent of which is to permit an additional number of immigrants above
the regular quotas of the countries of their origin to enter the United States and
WHEREAS a special quota is there under allotted to the Netherlands, who
also have a refugee problem, be it
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference
endorse and approve the spirit which has prompted the entering of this act and
the principle involved and that copies of this resolution be sent to the Senators
and Congressmen representing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
At four-fifteen a motion picture, "The Hidden Heart,"

Rev. Leonard W. Fowler, Chairman, and was accepted. Ballots
were passed and the election was completed, resulting in the
unanimous choice of those listed on pages 19-28.
The Business Committee again introduced a resolution from
the Committee on Evangelism, which, after revision, was adopted
as follows:
WHEREAS working at the specific tasks of the church should be a part of each
member's church life and
WHEREAS we should be alert to provide opportunities to work for our new
members as they are welcomed into our fellowship and
WHEREAS our younger members will be only as strong and resourceful as
their direct responsibilities and experiences permit them to grow, be it
RESOLVED: That we urge each member church of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Christian Conference to provide, at its own discretion, a specific plan
of rotation amongst the various official committees and boards of the churches
(or parishes or societies, which in some cases, represent the financial interests of
the church) in order that it may become customary to consider that after an office-
holder, as described above, has served one full term, a year shall elapse before his
reelection to the same office.
Mr. Julian D. Steele, the newly elected Vice Moderator, took
charge at this point, in the absence of the Moderator and
Vice Moderator.
The resolution on International Relations, adopted at the
Tuesday afternoon session, was further amended, and in its
final form was adopted as follows:
Believing that one indispensable condition of the Kingdom of God is the brother-
hood of man, and realizing that in this world brotherhood is not only of persons but
also by nations and ultimately through a community of nations, we endorse con-
tinued support and loyalty to the United Nations for the achievement of these aims:
1. the strengthening of the bonds of cooperation with other nations and the
machinery of international justice and peace;
1. the prevention of aggression and the avoidance of general war;
3. the development of standards of human rights and the policies of trade and
assistance.
1953] Minutes 39
Admitting the present inability of the United Nations to stop the "cold war,"
to regulate and reduce armaments, and to assure collective security, we acknowledge
our share of responsibility for its failures and commit ourselves to the search for
ways to improve its structure, increase its influence, and accomplish its aims.
The prevention of general war is as important as the prevention of communist
aggression. A military victory could be just as disastrous as an ideological defeat
in loss of life, commonwealth, freedom and security. We therefore urge our govern-
ment to avoid actions that would extend the war beyond Korea, yet resolutely to
resist the communist encroachment, but, above all, to consider and to act within
the framework of the emerging international community. We reject unilateral
policies that will give our friends cause to mistrust us and others reason to fear us .
We commend the efforts of the Massachusetts Council of Churches and our own
Social Action committee to publicize the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We urge each church to study, discuss, understand, and bear witness to this
international bill of rights.
The strongest weapon in the world today against Communism is the Christian
way of life. To this end, we therefore urge a heightened support of our Christian
World Mission as one means of bringing home to those under Communist domina-
tion the true meaning of such a way of life.
We likewise support the Voice of America as a means of bringing home to those
under Communist rule the virtues of the democratic way of life, asking that it be
financed wisely and administered free from political, religious or social bias.
In providing assistance to other nations, we feel that more is to be gained by
making possible mututal trade than by giving direct financial aid, and even more
by sharing the techniques, freedoms and faiths that have made America strong.
The final form of the Social Action Committee's resolution
on gambling was adopted as follows:
GAMBLING
WHEREAS we believe that substantial gains have been made in recent years
through public education and state and national legislation designed to discourage
and control gambling, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we express our appreciation to the Massachusetts General
Court and to the United States Congress for legislation passed recently to help
control gambling. Especially we commend the leadership of Attorney General
George Fingold and his supporters in their unrelenting efforts to oppose and curb
gambling in this Commonwealth. We call upon our churches for continued edu-
cation against the evils of gambling. We ask law enforcement agencies, local,
state and national, for a faithful enforcement of the laws against gambling.
40 Minutes [1953
A resolution on Human Rights, submitted by Rev. Lex Souter,
Rev. Frank C. Van Cleef, Jr., Rev. Earl Douglas, Rev. Herbert
Brautigam, Rev. Alfred Winham and Mr. Julian Steele, was
adopted as follows:
DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
WHEREAS the Declaration of Human Rights, as adopted by the Assembly of
the United Nations, was an effort to extend the principles of the Declaration of
Independence and the American Constitution and Bill of Rights to the world
community, and
WHEREAS it further represents the developing Christian conscience on Human
Rights, and
WHEREAS we feel that the action which our government took in formulating
this Declaration at the instigation of the Federal Council's Commission on a Just
and Durable Peace, should not go by default to the Communist to exploit in their
false propaganda, therefore be it
RESOLVED: That the Massachusetts Congregational Conference regrets the
recent action of our government in declaring its intention to refuse to sign the
Human Rights Convention.
We ask our members and churches to urge their Congressmen and Senators to
bring about the reconsideration of this intention. We further ask that copies of
this resolution be sent to the President of the United States, to the Secretary of
State, and to Senators Saltonstall and Kennedy.
Mr. Robert Ames of North Amherst introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted:
WHEREAS delegates and ministers share in a wealth of benefits, by attending
State Conferences, which are deprived the bulk of church members, be it
RESOLVED: That ministers be urged to take back to their respective parishes
the information, fellowship and inspiration received from the Conference.
It is further suggested that this important extension of the Conference benefits
be shared with church members through a sermon or the sharing of the pulpit
with lay delegates within a week or two of the close of the Conference.
Resolutions of thanks were presented by Rev. Oliver Powell
and adopted as follows:
EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION
WHEREAS this 154th Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Congregational
Christian Conference has been received so graciously, cared for so adequately,
and blessed so richly by its hosts during its stay, be it
RESOLVED that we extend this expression of profound appreciation and sincere

CLOSING PRAYER BY CHAPLAIN
AT STATE CONFERENCE
Go with us, O God, as we return again to the scenes of our everyday labors.
May we take with us from these days spent together fresh enthusiasm and renewed
zeal for the work of thy church and kingdom. In the days to come may we prove
to be workmen who need not to be ashamed.
And may the Lord bless us and keep us; the Lord make his face to shine upon
us and be gracious unto us; the Lord lift up his countenance upon us and give us
peace; in our going out and in our coming in; in our lying down and in our rising
up; in our triumphs and in our defeats; in our labor and in our leisure, until we
stand before him to receive his final judgment upon our lives, according to that
which we have done.
And unto God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be all praise and glory, now and
for evermore. Amen.

1953] Report of the Treasurer 53
May 14, 1953
Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President
Massachusetts Congregational, Conference and
Missionary Society
Boston, Massachusetts.
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Con-
ference and Missionary Society and of Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society, Trustee, as at March 31, 1953, and the related statements of
income for the year ended at that date. Our examination was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests
of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1953, were verified
by inspection, and we confirmed the cash in banks and in office at that date.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Society and of the Society as
Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1953, and the results of their operations for
the year ended at that date, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
PATTERSON, TEELE AND DENNIS
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-eight cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Twenty cents of the twenty-eight goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society are used to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of
the Conference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the
donor, and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society pay no Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary Society
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

The City Missionary Society, an incorporated charitable agency, with head-
quarters in the Congregational House, works in cooperation with the Congregational
churches in the Boston Area. All members of the Corporation and the Board of
Directors are members of the Congregational Christian churches in Metropolitan

Boston Community Council, the New England Camping Association, and in the
American Conference of Church Social Work. The program of the Society includes
family case-work, religious social work; city agency referral service, with churches,
public and private social agencies; Boston Summer Service Group (Vacation Church
Schools) ; leadership training in Boston Area churches; summer camps, Waldron and
Andover, for boys and girls at Meredith, New Hampshire; Camp Rosemary for

at Lincoln, Massachusetts. The office of the Farrington Memorial, Inc., is in the
City Missionary Society suite. This plant is operated as a place for conferences and
retreats, for children and others year-round.
Financial support for this work comes from interested individuals, churches and
endowment funds. No income is received from Community Fund or denomina-
tional sources.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CONFERENCE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the
church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval
of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the President or
Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
9. We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1952-1953 by placing the reference § before the names of
these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches and
Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year
the letter "d" appears after the reference §. Where the pastor's service ended
during the year, the reference "f" appears. Special grants will be listed, as usual,
on the following page.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday school membership, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These
tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book;
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment";
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post
office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address
(or in some cases, the political township) , and a cross reference on the page where the
post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1953. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1952. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars January 1, 1953, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools", "mission schools" and "home departments" so far as maintained by the
reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will
be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the
"Minutes" of each year. Months and days in the dates of ordination of Congregational
ministers may be found in the lists of the local Associations which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are:
"Ord." — Ordained "Ab." — Absentee
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
"To." or "T." — Total "D." — Death
"L." — Letter
Reference marks are used as follows:
[] Around a pastor's name signify he is not in full standing as a Congregational Christian
minister, nor a denominational licentiate, nor an approved lay preacher, nor a candidate
in care of a local association.
y Pastor serves more than one church. x Includes cost of new building or improvements.
i Pastor installed by Council. ■ — No answer can be given.
r Pastor recognized by Council. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
c Sunday School membership includes it Per Capita paid in full by church.
Cradle Roll.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday School and
young people's organizations, also home expense and value of property, are inserted from the
previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done
that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing
the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent" are included in the "Total." Amount of
"Home Expenses" includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating
expenses and repairs for church, Sunday School, choir and parish. An x before "Value Church
Property" denotes expenditures for new buildings or improvements during the year. The total
expended is given at the end of the Conference schedule.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church.
Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young
people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usuaUy.for all the churches grouped
together in the federated church.

selves, or for others whom they may designate as beneficiaries, as long
as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning such
annuity agreements is invited.

TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $5,000,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799,
in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the
theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for
the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of
salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the
glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of
our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian
ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel
Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
Origin of Domestic Missionary Society
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary
Society of Massachusetts Proper (which had come into being in 1818 to "see every
parish in the State well supplied with a faithful Minister of Christ"), were united
under the name of the Massachusetts Missionary Society. This meant that while
the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the
Massachusetts Missionary Society was henceforth to work almost exclusively in
Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home"
Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the
Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of
America.
Origin of Massachusetts Conference
The Massachusetts Home Missionary Society and the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference were united under the name of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society in 1927. This was the result of
twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National
Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was
used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. The Massachusetts
Congregational Conference and Missionary Society assumes responsibility for all
Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts. It supports a staff of
eleven persons who give ministerial and executive leadership to a broad program
of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellowship of the ministers
and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denominational and inter-
denominational projects and programs.

BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN
CONFERENCE
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officiis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.

3. The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees consisting of one
member from each Association of churches, and six members-at-large who shall be
known for their special knowledge of financial affairs, of whom one shall be chosen
each even-numbered year and two, — beginning with the year 1935, — each odd-
numbered year. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Woman's Department,
the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Massachusetts Laymen's Council, the
President of the Massachusetts Pilgrim Fellowship and one Vice President (nomi-
nated by its executive committee), the Chairman of the Congregational Center
Committee, and the Moderator shall also be members ex officiis. One-third of the

laymen, and one-third laywomen as nearly as may be. Nine members shall consti-
tute a quorum. The term of office shall be four years, and no member having served

chosen for their knowledge of financial affairs, may serve for two consecutive terms.
The present Trustees shall remain in office until the expiration of their terms.

a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a

reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the
receipt of these names shall communicate them to the nominating committee on
or before April 10. In case any Association fails to propose a candidate the Board
of Trustees shall perform this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall
commence at the close of the 1933 Conference.

such committees.

define their duties.
(c) To fill any vacancy in any office of the Conference (including vacancies
in the membership of the Board) until the vacancy shall be filled at a

Board) who may be guilty of disregard of his duties or of such conduct
as shall be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the Conference.
(e) To direct efforts to promote missionary interest and giving among the

ment essential to the efficient conduct of the Conference's work.
2. Ordained ministers who are members of the executive staff shall be expected

Mission an amount sufficient to make the total appropriation to the Conference

Boston Seaman's Friend Society.
Rev. L. Byron Whipple of Danvers and Rev. Bedros Baharian
of Quincy explained the reason for the recommendation and
endorsed it. A substitute motion that this matter be referred

The Moderator introduced Reverend Forrest Knapp, the new

Rev. Chauncy E. Blossom, speaking for the Trustees, intro-
duced Rev. Bedros Baharian, who presented the following
resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS Dr. Albert Buckner Coe, the Minister and President of the Massa-
chusetts Congregational Christian Conference has been nominated for the office
of Moderator of the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches
of the United States; and
WHEREAS Dr. Coe has served our churches with honor and distinction, first
and always as a minister and pastor to people, but also as a wise, sympathetic and
understanding leader of the councils and committees of our fellowship wherein he
has given tirelessly of himself as National chairman during the hard war years of
the Committee for War Victims and Services, as member of the Executive Com-
mittee of the General Council, and as chairman of that committee, as a member of
the Prudential Committee of the American Board, and of many other committees
representing the interests of the Congregational Christian churches and of the
Ecumenical church; and,
WHEREAS as our leader in the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Con-
ference we have personal experience of his dynamic leadership and compassionate
understanding of the problems of churches great and small; be it
RESOLVED: that this conference rejoicing in the nomination of Dr. Coe,
heartily endorses his nomination and commends him to the followship of our
churches as a leader of great heart and spirit fully qualified to bring to our churches
and our nation in these troublesome times a healing and constructive leadership.*
The following recommendation of the Trustees was enthu-
siastically adopted:
THAT Dr. John L. Lobingier be nominated Emeritus Secretary of Christian
Education.
Dr. Robert Wood Coe, Secretary of the Massachusetts Bible
Society, spoke on the work of the Board of Ministerial Aid, and
an offering for this cause was taken, amounting to $350.
Rev. Victor Chicoine introduced the following resolution on
behalf of the Trustees, which was adopted with hearty unanimity :
It is the sincere desire of the Board of Trustees of the Congregational Christian
Conference of Massachusetts to go on record in an attempt to pay a fitting tribute
*Note: (It should be noted that the office of Moderator is purely honorary and
carries no salary; in fact, it may involve expense to the incumbent.)
34 Minutes [1954
to the work and leadership of Dr. John L. Lobingier, who has been the Conference
Minister of Religious Education these past eleven years.
We think of him as a radiant personality. We were always certain that wherever
he went and with whatever problem he dealt, he would do it wisely, if need be,
swiftly, and always in a gracious manner. .
He has written books and published many articles which will carry his influence
far, and be a great blessing to many who have never met him.
He has spoken in our churches and advised us wisely.
In summer conference work he has, many times, made the most difficult prob-
lems appear easy to solve.
He has been in many of our homes and we have come to love him greatly.
He has directed the work of our youth in this Commonwealth with great insight
and vision.
His love of Christ's work, his tolerance, his quiet, persistent balance, his serious-
ness at the proper moment, his patience with the impatient, and counting nothing
as being too hard or too lowly for him to undertake, if it forwarded the work of
the Kingdom, these characteristics have endeared him to us with the utmost
finality.
Therefore, it is the earnest prayer of the members of the Board of Trustees of the
Congregational Christian Conference of Massachusetts, that this beloved leader
will dwell long and happily in our midst; be with us in all our deliberations; and
continue to demonstrate to us the power of an irenic mind and spirit and thus bless
us all the days of his life.
At this point the Vice Moderator, Mr. Julian D. Steele,
assuming the chair, introduced Dr. Myron W. Fowell, who
spoke concerning the educational campaign of the Massachusetts
Council of Churches relative to delinquency and crime.
An address, "Juvenile Delinquency: the Challenge of Change,"
was given by Mr. Bertram M. Beck, the Director of the Special
Juvenile Delinquency Project of the Children's Bureau, Wash-
ington, D. C. Following discussion of the address, the session
was adjourned.
During the recess before supper, there were two showings of
the motion picture, "The Beginning."
Mr. Blossom also introduced the following resolutions in
regard to revisions in the By-Laws, all of which were unani-
mously adopted:
ARTICLE I Substitute "Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference"
in this article for the former name, "Massachusetts Congregational Conference
and Missionary Society."

ship" to "Minister of Missions and Stewardship"; and the title "Secretary of

Education ..."
ARTICLE X, Section 2-c Change the name of the committee to "A Committee

(j) A Committee on Churches and Colleges, consisting of nine members, of
whom three shall be elected at each annual meeting for a term of three years.
It shall be the duty of this Committee to study the needs and opportunities
for developing a stronger religious program among students at the college
and university level, especially as it relates to local Congregational Christian
Churches; to cooperate with denominational and interdenominational agencies
working in this specialized field; and to review requests for conference aid for
the support of student projects within Massachusetts.
ARTICLE XIV (Corporate Seal) Substitute "Massachusetts Congregational
Christian Conference" for "Massachusetts Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society."
The following recommendations of the Trustees were also
adopted :
THAT the terms of the present members of the Committee on Churches and
Colleges be extended one year, so that those whose terms now expire in 1954 will
serve until May 1955; and those whose terms now expire in 1955 will serve until
May 1956, and that the Nominating Committee be asked to nominate three new
members of the committee at the annual meeting whose terms will expire in May
1957.
THAT the election of a delegate to the Advisory Board of the Student Christian
Movement of New England be authorized, said delegate to be nominated by the
Conference Nominating Committee, for a three year term.
TUESDAY EVENING

Social Hall, Dr. Frederick M. Meek presiding.

VOTED: That the Allotment assessment for the year 1954-1955 be 28^ per
member; 20^ for the General Council and 8fi for the Conference.
Reporting for the Business Committee, Rev. Clarence W.
Fuller presented three resolutions on behalf of the Social Action
Committee, and they were adopted as follows:
1954] Minutes 37
TEMPERANCE AND ALCOHOL CONTROL
WHEREAS intemperance is a contributing factor in juvenile delinquency and
adult crime, and
WHEREAS the excessive use of liquor is detrimental to family life and a cause
of divorce,
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we call upon our ministers and churches to
promote temperance programs and to help establish alcoholic clinics where the
need exists, and
Be it further RESOLVED that we urge our people to demand stricter enforce-
ment of the liquor laws where laxity exists among law enforcement agencies, to
support new laws which will help to control the problems caused by excessive use
of alcohol and to cooperate wherever possible with other groups interested in this
problem, such as the Massachusetts Temperance League, the Social Relations
Department of the Massachusetts Council of Churches and the Massachusetts
Commission on Alcohol.
Be it further RESOLVED that because we see in the widespread advertisements
of alcoholic beverages in all of our mass media a constant and repeated emphasis
on the social acceptability of drinking and a constant and continued silence on its
disastrous social effects, this Conference, therefore, goes on record as supporting
the Bryson Bill (H.R. 1227). This bill would eliminate the advertisements of all
alcoholic beverages over the radio and television, and in newspapers and magazines
in interstate commerce.
Be it further RESOLVED that notice of this action be sent to our Massachusetts
Representatives and Senators in Washington.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES
When our national security is threatened within and without the land Christian
people and Christian Churches ought to give special attention to the foundations
upon which our society rests. These foundations are freedom, justice, human rights
and civil liberties, which in turn, depend upon the moral and spiritual foundations
of our Christian faith. It is especially important for us to strengthen and declare
such faith in a time of fear and insecurity that we may "hold fast to the liberty
wherewith Christ hath set us free."
One of the basic concepts of our religious faith is that man is a son of God, made
in the image of God and therefore worthy of the respect of other men and of a
chance to live his life with dignity and freedom. We hold that loyalty to this basic
truth is necessary to preserve political freedom as set forth in the American
Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the Bill
of Rights.
Moved by this faith we deplore intimidation, careless accusations, abuse of
political power, release of unevaluated information in committee files, malicious
slander, premature assumption of guilt, the judgment of people on the basis of
association rather than character and conduct. Such practices violate our religious
convictions, our democratic traditions, and our constitutional rights and liberties.
We deplore the practice of casting suspicion upon those who do not conform to
majority viewpoints, of interpreting honest mistakes as intentional disloyalty, of
38 Minutes [1954
condemning persons now for acts which were lawful and acceptable when com-
mitted.
We believe that society profits from diversity of opinion, from the interplay of
free minds and from the use of truth to counteract error. An atmosphere of
confidence and freedom in our churches, schools, libraries, industries and in our
institutions of government is a necessary condition for a strong and secure nation.
We call upon our people to be steadfast in their loyalty to freedom, express their
honest views, encourage and honor others who do the same, and support those
programs of education and action in our churches and society which will strengthen
our fundamental faith, our sense of justice and our essential liberties.
SUPREME COURT DECISION
Be it RESOLVED that this Conference record its hearty approval of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court outlawing segregation in the public schools, and
welcome it as an opportunity to implement in the field of education our belief in
the dignity of all men and their equality in the sight of God.
A fourth resolution, on Agriculture, was referred back to the
Social Action Committee for revision and report at the afternoon
session.
The Missionary Committee presented a panel discussion,
"The Local Church Missionary Committee in Action — a
Glimpse of How We Do It," with Rev. Baldwin W. Callahan as
Chairman. Others participating were: Mrs. Myron W. Bemis,
Mrs. Stanley Cummings, Miss Edna Morton, Miss Rosa Richard
and the Reverend Messrs. Robert N. Foster, Robert W. Little,
Harold Nevers, Roland W. Nye.
Rev. Horace G. Robson, Executive Director, gave a report
for the Board of Pastoral Supply.
"The Church's Ministry to Students" was the subject of an
address by Rev. W. S. McColm of Glasgow, Scotland, after which
the session was closed by Chaplain Henley with hymn and
prayer.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
At 12:15 a Missionary Luncheon was served in the church
social hall, with Rev. H. Gardner Andersen of Walpole presiding.
The address, given by Prof. Elmer Homrighausen of Princeton
Theological School, on "Choose Ye This Day," was very
enthusiastically received.
Reconvening at 2:00 the Conference was called to order by
Moderator-elect, Mr. Julian D. Steele. Chaplain Henley led in
1954] Minutes 39
a hymn and prayer. Mr. Steele spoke briefly on "The Moral
Use of Power."
Mr. Glen Cunningham of Cedar Point, Kansas, received much
applause for his address on "Clean Living and the Race of Life."
Making further report for the Business Committee, Rev.
Clarence W. Fuller introduced the resolution on Agriculture, as
revised by the Social Action Committee, and it was adopted in
the following form:
AGRICULTURE
WHEREAS the business of producing the food and fiber for the nation is of
paramount importance; and
WHEREAS the maintenance of the fertility of the soil is essential to our
prosperity; and
WHEREAS the problems related to American agriculture have been a matter
of public concern for many years, as evidenced by the creation of the extension
service, experiment stations, conservation works, etc.; and
WHEREAS as a result of this assistance and encouragement, food in quantities
in excess of our minimum needs is being produced in our country,
Therefore be it RESOLVED that the government of the United States in the
national interest has a responsibility to the producers of food and fiber to protect
them from exploitation; and
Therefore be it further RESOLVED that increased effort be given to finding
means of distributing our surplus foods among hungry people at home or abroad;
and
Be it further RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the Senators
and Congressmen from Massachusetts to the Governor of this Commonwealth
and to the President of the United States.
Other resolutions presented on behalf of the Social Action
Committee were adopted as follows:
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND CRIME
WHEREAS the churches of our denomination have joined, through the Social
Relations Department of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, with other
Protestant churches in an educational campaign relative to delinquency and
crime, and
WHEREAS many of our churches have cooperated splendidly with this educa-
tional program, bringing the facts about the causes of delinquency to the attention
of their people and helping to achieve the definite objectives of the program in terms
of foster homes, more help for young people in prison and improved legislation to
deal with delinquency and crime,
40 Minutes [1954
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we commend this program as a plan of action
and urge that more consideration be given by our churches, community agencies
and public officials to strengthening the forces that make for the prevention of
delinquency and crime. Be it further RESOLVED that we call upon our churches
and their Social Action Committees to continue to work for the improvement of
procedures related to criminal justice, to the treatment of offenders in our penal
institutions and to help prisoners to make better adjustments upon their release
from prison.
THE COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL ACTION
WHEREAS the report of the Board of Review on the activities of the Council for
Social Action has been circulated among the churches of Massachusetts, and
WHEREAS the report has on the one hand justified the creation, general
structure and function of the Council, and on the other has recommended strength-
ening its finances, educational duties, and sense of responsibility to our churches,
Be it RESOLVED that we approve the report of the Board of Review and that
we strive to carry out in toto its recommendations.
GAMBLING
WHEREAS recent surveys have revealed an increase in organized gambling,
especially in the form of "horse shop" and in-plant bookie betting, and
WHEREAS gambling represents a perversion of moral principles and a diversion
of money from legitimate business and savings thereby weakening the moral and
economic structure of society while at the same time fostering corruption in
government and making for an increase of crime and other social evils, and
WHEREAS so-called minor forms of gambling along with so-called "give-away"
advertising projects based on luck and chance tend to awaken an unwholesome
desire to get something for nothing that stimulates the gambling mania with its
consequent evils :
Be it RESOLVED that we condemn organized gambling and urge a strict enforce-
ment of existing laws against it and call upon organizations and advertising agencies
to refrain from the use of devices which stimulate the gambling fever.
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
WHEREAS sound labor-management relations constitute a fundamental ele-
ment in a healthy economy for our Commonwealth and our nation; and
WHEREAS such relations break down by reason of ignorance, misinformation
and suspicion as much as through genuine disparity of point of view;
WHEREAS it should be the aim of churches to create concord rather than
division, to witness to community- rather than self-interest, and to be a source of
understanding rather than prejudice:
Be it RESOLVED that we encourage promotion of more Industrial Institutes
for the purpose of bringing together representatives of labor and management for
informal discussions of common principles, methods, and objectives, that we
encourage our churches to form study groups on our economic life as a part of their
social action commitments, to prepare themselves to be centers of mediation and
conciliation where disagreements and disputes arise.
1954] Minutes 41
WORLD AFFAIRS
WHEREAS Nationalism, which has emphasized self-sufficiency and separate-
ness along with color barriers and the doctrine of white supremacy, has broken
down in the world, and
WHEREAS Colonialism is under heavy attack in many parts of the world before
a rising desire for freedom and a better life inspired often by the teachings of
Christianity, and
WHEREAS the technical assistance programs supported by our government
have raised the hopes of millions of people in areas of hunger and economic depres-
sion toward a better standard of life, and
WHEREAS the United Nations has proved itself to be an effective world forum
in which explosive international issues can be discussed, has assisted dependent
people in an orderly transition from colonial status to freedom, has ministered to
displaced persons and refugees, while working effectively for the alleviation of
hunger, disease and illiteracy:
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we urge our church people to study carefully
proposals for revision of the United Nations' charter scheduled for consideration by
the General Assembly of the U.N. in 1955 and that they make their hopes and
desires relative to the future of the United Nations known to their representatives
in Congress.
Be it further RESOLVED that we urge our government to continue its program of
technical assistance to needy peoples, to regard it not as a temporary or emergency
measure or to subordinate it to military aid or security objectives; but to offer it
as an expression of our concern for people in need and as a practical and effective
means of promoting peace and freedom in the world.
The following six resolutions were introduced by Mr. Fuller on
behalf of the Committee on Religious Education, and all were
adopted :
1 . We wish to commend the churches that support the much needed program
of Week Day Religious Education. We suggest that after adequate study and
preparation in order to maintain high educational standards, more communities
embark on this program, supporting it by paying salaries of its teachers at least
on the level of public school teachers of that community.
2. We recommend that churches of our Conference study and follow "The
Manual of Standards and Relationships for the Church and the Ministry of
Christian Education" as prepared by The Department of the Ministry and the
Division of Christian Education of the Congregational Christian Churches, so
that (1) On entering the profession a Director or Minister of Christian Education

42 Minutes [1954
4. Because of the great worth of summer conferences in the lives of our young
people, and because some cannot afford the total expense involved, we recommend
that our Associations and churches establish scholarship funds to help their young
people attend summer conferences.
5. WHEREAS Christian Education Institutes sponsored by various Associa-
tions have proved so effective, it is hereby recommended that all Associations
sponsor institutes for church school teachers and Pilgrim Fellowship advisors
annually.
6. WHEREAS Dr. John L. Lobingier has given many years of devoted and
consecrated service to the Massachusetts Congregational Conference as Secretary
of Christian Education, be it RESOLVED that the Massachusetts Congregational
Conference go on record as expressing its heartfelt appreciation and gratitude, and
extending every good wish for his future.
An invitation from the Rollstone and Calvinistic Churches of
Fitchburg for entertainment of the Conference in 1955 was
approved and referred to the Trustees for action.
A statement from the Committee for the Continuation of the
Congregational Christian Churches was read. This communica-
tion required no action by the Conference.
Five further resolutions were offered by the Business Com-
mittee and were adopted as follows:
REFUGEES
WHEREAS there are a great many refugees in Europe who need to be resettled,
and
WHEREAS the denominational opportunities for helping in the resettlement
program will be on a "first come, first served" basis, and
WHEREAS many of our churches have already known the joy of helping re-
settle homeless people through the so-called Displaced Persons Program, and
WHEREAS "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my
brethren, ye have done it unto me," is an imperative of the Christian Gospel, and
WHEREAS the Congregational Christian Service Committee is seeking 75
assurances in Massachusetts within the next two months, and
WHEREAS the Social Action Committee of our Congregational Christian
Conference has accepted this quota,
Be it RESOLVED that the Massachusetts Congregational Conference strongly
favors the program for the resettlement of regugees, and urges the churches in the
state to do all that is within their power to assist in this program at the earliest
possible moment.
1954] Minutes 43
IN DEFENSE OF CONSCIENCE AND FREEDOM
WHEREAS we have defended freedom generally, and
WHEREAS it is sometimes good to be specific and defend freedom singularly,
and
WHEREAS some of our members and ministers have been carelessly accused
before the House Un-American Activities Committee and by other organizations
with a restricted idea of the limits of freedom, and
WHEREAS the integrity of our members and ministers have been reaffirmed
by their own churches and associations, therefore
Be it RESOLVED that we honor the churches and associations that have shown
courage in reaffirming the principles of Christian freedom, and
Be it further RESOLVED that we urge our churches and associations to stand
firmly behind those who follow their Christian conscience in the midst of the
complex needs and differing opinions of the day.
THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
WHEREAS we have in our democratic traditions always upheld the integrity
and trust of the office of the President of the United States, and
WHEREAS we are greatly disturbed by the efforts of a few to undermine the
integrity of this honored office,
Be it RESOLVED that we reaffirm our trust in the office of President.
Be it further RESOLVED that we commend the President for his sincere efforts
to give spiritual leadership to the nation.
FOREIGN POLICY
WHEREAS in any crisis, including the present Indo China one, the welfare
of mankind and therefore of the United States must always be on the side of free-
dom, a higher standard of living, and cultural and religious fulfillment; and
WHEREAS our foreign policy in Asia is in a fluid state and needs the direction
of Christian hearts and minds; therefore
Be it RESOLVED that we express to the leaders of our nation our Christian
concern that in the Asian foreign policy the ultimate goals of political independence
in Indo China be recognized, that a higher standard of living through economic
aid to depressed areas be advanced through the United Nations, and that as a
nation under God we give willingly as Christian stewards whatever is necessary
for peace and justice.
EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE
WHEREAS the Congregational Christian Conference recognizes the many
hours of careful planning involved to make this, our 155th Annual Meeting, out-
standing in every respect, and
WHEREAS we gratefully acknowledge the abundance of spiritual and material
blessings that have been made possible for us to enjoy, be it

support of his leadership, and to his efficient and capable staff of officers who serve

CLOSING PRAYER BY CHAPLAIN
AT STATE CONFERENCE
Eternal God, our Father, we thank Thee for these mountain-top experiences
which have meant so much to us. Grant, we pray Thee, that the spiritual re-
freshment they have given us may not be left behind nor forgotten as we go out
into the world where greed and poverty, misunderstanding and ignorance, take
their toll. In the days ahead may we contribute so much of our faith and works
that Thy Church may be as a lighthouse of truth and a citadel of faith. But be-
fore we go, may we once more look upward and see Thee Whom to know is life
eternal, and inward and see ourselves as instruments of Thy purpose, and outward
and see people as persons for whom Christ lived and died. And may the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with us all. Amen.

1954] Report of the Treasurer 55
May 12, 1954
The Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President
Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference
Boston, Massachusetts
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Christian
Conference (formerly Massachusetts Congregational Conference and Missionary
Society) and of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, Trustee, as at
March 31, 1954, and the related statements of income for the year ended at that
date. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1954, were verified
by inspection or confirmation and the cash in banks and in office by certificate
or count.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Conference and of the Conference
as Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1954, and the results of their operations for
the year ended at that date, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
PATTERSON, TEELE & DENNIS
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-eight cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Twenty cents of the twenty-eight goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference are used
to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of the Con-
ference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the donor,
and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference pay no
Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE
1. Wherever a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of the
church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the approval
of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid the Conference will appropriate different amounts according
to the necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the President or
Secretary before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. Whenever the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support
an appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except
for special reasons satisfactory to the President.
7. The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
8. The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the
avoidance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation
of churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
9. We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1953-1954 by placing the reference § before the names of
these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches and
Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the year
the letter "d" appears. WTiere the pastor's service ended during the year, the
reference "f" appears. Special grants will be listed, as usual, on the following page.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday school membership, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These
tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book;
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of '
membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment" ;
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post
office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address
(or in some cases, the political township) , and a cross reference on the page where the
post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1954. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1953. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars January 1, 1954, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools", "mission schools" and "home departments" so far as maintained by the
reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will
be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the
"Minutes" of each year. Months and days in the dates of ordination of Congregational
ministers may be found in the lists of the local Associations which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are:
"Ord." — • Ordained "Ab." — Absentee
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
"To." or "T." — Total "D." — Death
"L." — Letter
Reference marks are used as follows:
[] Around a pastor's name signify he is not in full standing as a Congregational Christian
minister, nor a denominational licentiate, nor an approved lay preacher, nor a candidate
in care of a local association.
y Pastor serves more than one church. x Includes cost of new building or improvements.
i Pastor installed by Council. — No answer can be given.
r Pastor recognized by Council. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
it Per Capita paid in full by church.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday School and
young people's organizations, also home expense and value of property, are inserted from the
previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done
that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing
the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent" are included in the "Total." Amount of
"Home Expenses" includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating
expenses and repairs for church, Sunday School, choir and parish. An x before "Value Church
Property" denotes expenditures for new buildings or improvements during the year. The total
expended is given at the end of the Conference schedule.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church.
Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young
people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the churches grouped
together in the federated church.

selves, or for others whom they may designate as beneficiaries, as long
as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning such
annuity agreements is invited.

TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $5,000,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799,
in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the
theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for
the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of
salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the
glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of
our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian
ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel
Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
Origin of Domestic Missionary Society
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary
Society of Massachusetts Proper (which had come into being in 1818 to "see every
parish in the State well supplied with a faithful Minister of Christ"), were united
under the name of the Massachusetts Missionary Society. This meant that while
the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the
Massachusetts Missionary Society was henceforth to work almost exclusively in
Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home"
Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the
Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of
America.
Origin of Massachusetts Conference
The Massachusetts Home Missionary Society and the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference were united under the name of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society in 1927. This was the result of
twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National
Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was
used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. In 1953 the name was
changed to Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference. The Conference
assumes responsibility for all Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts.
It supports a staff of eleven persons who give ministerial and executive leadership
to a broad program of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellow-
ship of the ministers and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denomi-
national and interdenominational projects and programs.

BY-LAWS OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN
CONFERENCE
ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters.
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex ofEciis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and such
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be
honorary members of the Conference, with the privilege of speaking, but without
vote.

additional titles as the Conference or the Board of Trustees may determine.
3. The Conference shall elect by ballot a Board of Trustees consisting of one
member from each Association of churches, and six members-at-large who shall be
known for their special knowledge of financial affairs, of whom one shall be chosen
each even-numbered year and two, — beginning with the year 1935, — each odd-
numbered year. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Woman's Department,
the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Massachusetts Laymen's Council, the

tute a quorum. The term of office shall be four years, and no member having served
a full term shall be eligible for re-election until after one year, but members-at-large,
chosen for their knowledge of financial affairs, may serve for two consecutive terms.
The present Trustees shall remain in office until the expiration of their terms.
The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from which
Trustees are to be chosen in the successive years and determine whether the
Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a
candidate for membership upon the Board, and whether such candidate should be
a minister, a layman or a laywoman, and the names of such candidates shall be
reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the
receipt of these names shall communicate them to the nominating committee on
or before April 10. In case any Association fails to propose a candidate the Board
of Trustees shall perform this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall
commence at the close of the 1933 Conference.
At its first meeting after each annual meeting of the Conference the Board shall
choose one of its members to serve as chairman for the ensuing year. Except as
otherwise provided in the charter of the Conference or in these by-laws, the Board
1955] By-Laws 7

audited at least once each year by certified public accountants selected by the Board.
Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, the Board shall in particular

such committees.
(b) To appoint and, at pleasure, remove all agents of the Conference and to

as shall be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the Conference.
(e) To direct efforts to promote missionary interest and giving among the

4. The terms of all officers, save when chosen to fill vacancies, shall begin at the
close of the meeting at which they are elected.

1955] By-Law* 9
ARTICLE VII
Retirement and Annuity
1. No person who has attained the age of seventy years shall continue as a
member of the Executive Staff. With respect to employees not members of the
Executive Staff, it shall be the policy of the Conference to retire every such em-
ployee upon his or her attaining the age of seventy years, provided, however, that
this shall not affect the power of the Trustees temporarily to employ from time to
time persons who have passed that age (including former members of the executive
staff) whenever in particular cases the Trustees shall deem such temporary employ-
ment essential to the efficient conduct of the Conference's work.
2. Ordained ministers who are members of the executive staff shall be expected
to be members of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, and the Con-
ference shall not provide for them any other retirement annuity, except in the case
of ministers who are now members under the Original Plan. Toward each annual
premium in the Annuity Fund of any member of the staff the Conference shall pay
each year an amount equal to 8% of the charge on his salary, less such amount as
the Conference shall pay the United States for his Social Security.
3. Lay members of the office staff shall be expected to be, so far as practicable,
members of the Retirement Fund for Lay Workers, and the Conference shall pay,
as the annual premium for each lay worker who is a member of the Fund, 8% of
the charge on his salary, less such amount as the Conference shall pay the United
States for his Social Security.
ARTICLE VHI
Departments and Affiliated Organizations
1. There shall be a Department of Woman's Work of the Conference.
(a) The object of this Department shall be to help to promote the entire work
of the local church and to further in every way possible the cause of Christ
throughout the world. The voting members of this Department shall be
the women members of the Conference, together with such other women
as may be determined by the rules of the Department. The Chairman,
Vice-Chairman of the Department, the District Presidents, the women
members of the Board of Trustees and the members of the Business Com-
mittee, as provided by the rules of the Department, shall constitute the
members of the Executive Committee of the Woman's Department. This
Executive Committee shall organize the membership of the Department in
whatever manner it may deem needful for the effective carrying on of the
Department's work.

1955] Minutes 33
The Business Committee presented the following resolutions
on behalf of the Social Action Committee, which were adopted:
IMMIGRATION
WHEREAS the McCarran- Walter Act enacted in 1953 represents an immigra-
tion policy and procedure that is discriminatory and un-American and makes a
democratic foreign policy impossible,
Therefore be it RESOLVED that the Massachusetts Congregational Christian
Conference urge our representatives in Congress to revise the immigration law
in accord with the President's Commission on Immigration and Naturalization
submitted January 1, 1953. This report recommends:
1. A unified quota system allocating visas without regard to race, creed, or
color, but based on the right of asylum, the reunion of families, vocational skills
needed in the United States and emergency resettlement needs.
2. A maximum annual quota of Y§ of 1% of nationality groups determined by
the most recent census.
3. A completely new law to provide fair hearings and procedures concerning
admissions, deportations and the acquisition or retention of citizenship.
SURPLUS FOOD
Inasmuch as the quantity of surplus food in the United States has now reached
its highest total of over six billion dollars in value while many millions of the people
of the world are underfed and in many cases sick and starving from malnutrition,
Be it RESOLVED that we urge our churches to support our Relief and Recon-
struction Program in the distribution of surplus food through Church World Service,
Care and Share our Surplus organizations, and that we urge our representatives in
Washington to develop and support supplementary programs for the distribution
of surplus commodities.
MENTAL ILLNESS
WHEREAS recent national statistics show that at least ten million Americans
are now suffering from some form of mental illness and that nearly three-quarters
of a million people are under care in our nation's mental hospitals, involving costs
of more than a billion dollars a year from tax funds, and
WHEREAS here in Massachusetts over 31,000 persons are hospitalized because
of some form of mental illness — more people than are hospitalized for all other
kinds of illness combined, and
WHEREAS in spite of an ambitious building program our mental hospitals are
still greatly over-crowded and under-staffed, with out-patient clinics developing long
waiting lists, and
WHEREAS present needs relative to mental illness include: research into the
causes and the prevention of mental illness, improved treatment facilities, more
professionally trained personnel, and greater public awareness of the factors that
influence good mental health,
34 Minutes [1955
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we urge upon our ministers and churches con-
tinued cooperation with the educational program of the Massachusetts Council
of Churches concerning an adequate ministry to the people in our mental insti-
tutions, and
Be it further RESOLVED that we urge our church people to support generously
the $5,000,000 fund being raised nationally for additional scientific research relative
to mental illness.
On motion from the floor, it was voted that action on all
resolutions be by standing vote.
Reporting further for the Social Action Committee, the
Business Committee presented the following resolutions, which
were adopted:
DESEGREGATION
We rejoice in the substantial progress that has been made in recent years,
especially since the United States Supreme Court decision of May 17, 1954, toward
the desegregation of the Negro in American communities.
Especially encouraging have been the positive and forward steps taken by
southern colleges, universities, church groups and social agencies interested in
inter-group relations. Southern newspapers have helped greatly to prevent the
development of hysteria in some critical situations.
It is obvious that it will take some time to bring an end to segregation. We
appreciate the wisdom of the Supreme Court decision which allows time for the
accomplishment of this end. However, we believe there is a latent danger in the
philosophy of gradualism as it is being applied to the desegregation problem. It is
quite possible that much of the moral value of the Supreme Court decision may
be nullified and lost if too much time is consumed in making the adjustments
necessary to bring about the full integration of Negroes in community life.
We believe that more concern must be given to the patterns of living in our
northern cities where unwritten restrictive covenants and realtors' agreements often
make it difficult for Negroes and other minority groups to own property, and to
the inclusion in our churches of all racial and cultural groups represented in their
communities.
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we urge our ministers and churches to help
fulfill the purpose of the Supreme Court decision by doing everything possible to
develop non-segregated churches in non-segregated communities.
CHRISTIAN VOCATION
WHEREAS the growing emphasis on the function of the laity is not merely a
means to supplement an overburdened, ordained ministry but springs from the
rediscovery of the true nature of the church as the "people of God," and
WHEREAS only by the witness of a spiritually and intelligently active laity
can the church meet the modern world in its actual perplexities and life situations,
Be it therefore RESOLVED that the Massachusetts Congregational Christian
Conference strengthen its efforts to help its ministers and churches to recognize that
1955] Minutes 35
the real battles of faith are being fought "in factories, shops, offices, on farms,
radio and television and in the relationship of nations."
Be it further RESOLVED that the church should be concerned in all of these
spheres and that it should encourage its people to study such documents as the
report of section 6 on the laity, "The Christian and His Vocation," of the Second
Assembly of the World Council of Churches and take appropriate steps to make the
ministry of the laity articulate, visible and active in the world.
President Charles W. Cole of Amherst College spoke inter-
estingly and informatively on "Religion and the Colleges."
The session closed at noon with a hymn and prayer by the
Chaplain.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The Conference luncheon was served at 12:15 P.M. in Fitch-
burg City Hall. Prayer was offered by Rev. Clarence W. Fuller

An address, "The Family and the Kingdom," was given by
Dr. Elton Trueblood of Washington, D.C., Chief of Religious
Information^ United States Information Agency.
The Business Committee introduced the following resolutions,
which were adopted:
Be it RESOLVED that the Massachusetts Conference of Congregational
Christian Churches give its enthusiastic support to the current program of the
Massachusetts Council of Churches in which it seeks to raise an emergency budget
over and above its regular budget enabling this group of which we are an important
part to enlarge the unified presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our Common-
wealth through more and better radio and television service, more adequate public
relations, and more efficient and forceful promotion of Christian leadership.
WORLD AFFAIRS
WHEREAS our national policy and program of desegregation has been regarded
with favor throughout the world, and
WHEREAS the Point Four and the Technical Assistance programs of our
government have given new hope to many backward nations, and
WHEREAS the United States has embarked upon a plan for sharing atomic
materials and skills with other nations for the purpose of improved health and
higher standards of living,
36 Minutes [1955
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we urge our church people to support these
national programs, that we request our legislators to develop and support a foreign
policy which will give encouragement to native movements of social and economic
reform and that will strengthen the many agencies of the United Nations working
toward world peace.
REFUGEES
WHEREAS our churches have provided 35 assurances for refugees during the
past year as compared to the quota of 15 accepted by our Social Action Committee
and endorsed by last year's annual meeting, and
WHEREAS the great improvement in the economy of Western Germany has
enabled many more of the German escapees and expellees to make permanent
resettlement in Western Germany than was considered possible when the Refugee
Act of 1953 was passed, and
WHEREAS the great remaining needs in this humanitarian project are among
people in the following four categories :
1. Families of mixed marriage (Protestant — Catholic), (Christian — Jewish),
(Christian — Mohammedan).
2. Individuals and families of the Greek, Russian or Albanian Orthodox faith.
3. Single men from Balkan Countries.
4. Orientals (5,000 in number, mostly in Hong Kong).
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we urge our churches to offer as speedily as
possible the forty additional assurances needed to complete our quota and to relate
them as much as possible to the refugees in the categories of greatest need.
A resolution on Constitutional Rights and Liberties was
returned to the Business Committee for further study and report
at a later session.
A resolution on Alcohol was adopted as follows :
ALCOHOL
WHEREAS there are now four million alcoholics and three million additional
problem drinkers in this country, and
Because alcohol is a major contributing cause of divorce, delinquency, highway
accidents and economic loss, and
WHEREAS our churches are indifferent to this critical problem, and
WHEREAS more stringent laws and more effective enforcement is necessary,
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we call upon our ministers and churches to
promote actively education concerning the destructive effects of alcohol on the
individual and society; to cooperate with other interested groups in the establish-
ment of more clinics for the treatment of problems related to alcohol and urge our
legislators (state and national) to recognize this growing problem and to develop
remedial measures to deal with it.
1955] Minutes 37
A resolution on Delinquency and Crime was referred back to
the committee for further study and report at a later session.
Action on a resolution on the International Christian Univer-
sity was deferred until copies were made available.
The Business Committee reported a resolution from the
Committee on Christian Education, which was adopted as
follows :
WHEREAS the public school is basic in our democracy with its freedom to
study, learn and believe:
Be it therefore RESOLVED that our churches be alert to any force or forces
which tend to encroach upon that freedom;
Be it further RESOLVED that we support the public school by being aware of
its problems in our particular communities, and
Be it further RESOLVED that the proper means be found through which the
Congregational conscience may use its influence to strengthen this basis institution
in our democratic way of life.
A resolution from the Social Action Committee, presented
through the Business Committee, on Universal Military Training
was discussed at length and adopted, as follows:
WHEREAS the National Council of Churches has declared:
"We believe it is one thing to acknowledge the necessity of drafting men for a
limited period to meet a specific international emergency. It is another, and quite
different thing for the churches to support the conscription of each succeeding
generation of the nation's youth for a program of universal military training. It
is not in accord with our heritage as a free nation under God, permanently to
recruit our youth under the banners of the military. To do this would be to take
a long step in the direction of the garrison state."
(General Board of the NCC, New York, January 30, 1952)
And WHEREAS the Massachusetts Council of Churches has recently reaffirmed
its position in opposition to the adoption of UMT in peacetime, at its State Con-
ference at Worcester, Nov. 15, 1954, and
WHEREAS many other religious bodies have taken a similar stand against
this system, and
WHEREAS the Bill now before Congress, H.R. 5297, known as the Compulsory
Reserve-UMT Bill, provides for a system of UMT in connection with the plans
for the reserve system, and embodies many of the evils of permanent military
conscription,
Be it RESOLVED that we oppose this plan to adopt UMT as a permanent
measure in our American life, and urge our ministers and lay members to make
their convictions known to their Senators and Representatives in Congress, and
that copies of this resolution be sent by telegraph to all Representatives in Congress
from Massachusetts.
The Business Committee presented a resolution from the
Education for Union Committee of the Board of Trustees and

constitutional rights destroying the equality of men before the law,

accusations, abuse of political power, release of unevaluated information in com-
mittee files, malicious slander, premature assumption of guilt and the judgment of
people on basis of association rather than character and conduct.
Therefore be it RESOLVED that this Conference urge the members of its churches
to protest the irresponsible use of uncorroborated evidence in Congressional inquiries
and insists that witnesses be allowed to know and face their accusers and have the
right of counsel.

CLOSING PRAYER BY CHAPLAIN
AT STATE CONFERENCE
0 God, Our Help in Ages Past
O Thou who art the source of all that is good, all that is holy, to Thee be glory
and praise, power and dominion.
We thank Thee for the guidance of Thy Holy Spirit, for every glimpse that we
have had of Thy purpose, for every call that has challenged us to nobler things,
for every warning that would caution us against evil, for every prompting that
would turn us to the gospel of Thy Son Jesus Christ.
We thank Thee for the blessings of these days together, for sharing, for encourage-
ment, for the building up in us of the holy things of the church, for work and
worship, for inspiration and insight, for the call to action.
Help each of us to return to his home in safety, and in the coming days to be
used of Thee more worthily for having shared in this experience.
Guide and uphold the officers and leaders of this conference during the coming
year. Cause to prosper the Cause of Christ in all our member churches, strengthen
Thy ministers, whom Thou hast set to be pastors over Thy flock, that with right-
eousness, faith and devotion they may lead Thy people in all godliness and truth.
Give unto the laity, who are Thy ministers too, the grace to witness to the faith.
Endue us all with zeal and love, both for Thy Son and for the Gospel, that many
may be turned to righteousness, and that we may at last obtain the crown of
everlasting joy.
Guide us by Thy wisdom, uphold us by Thy power, surround us by Thy mercy,
keep us in Thy truth, lead us in Thy righteousness, redeem us in Thy love . . .
Through Thy Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord
Now unto him that is able to keep us from falling, and to present us before the
presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, our Saviour, be
glory and majesty, dominion and power, now and forever.
The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be with us all. Amen.

The Reverend Albert Bxjckner Coe, D.D., President
Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference
Boston, Massachusetts
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Christian
Conference and of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, Trustee,
as at March 31, 1955, and the related statements of income for the year ended at
that date. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted audit-
ing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and
such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1955, were verified
by inspection or confirmation, and the cash in banks and in office by certificate or
count.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Conference and of the Conference
as Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1955, and the results of their operations for
the year ended at that date, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

"Income paid direct to church by Massachusetts Congregational Fund.
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-eight cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Twenty cents of the twenty-eight goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference are used
to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of the Con-
ference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the donor,
and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference pay no
Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE
Grants for the aid of churches and certain other types of work are made by the
Conference through the Board of Trustees, following recommendation by the
Grants Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The Grants Committee considers applications for grants to local churches (to
strengthen the ministry of the church); to hospital chaplaincies; to week-day
religious education programs in certain churches; to St. Mark Social Center; to
other interdenominational projects in Massachusetts; to Hospitality House at
Ayer (Fort Devens), and other work as need arises. In co-operation with the
Churches and Colleges Committee it also receives applications for grants for student
work both on campus and in churches near campuses.
Requests for grants come to the committee through the member of the conference
executive staff who is particularly concerned either with the area or the type of
work.
Grants to local churches are made under the following circumstances :
1. Where a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of
the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid different amounts will be appropriated according to the
necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the Area Minister or
President before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. When the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support an
appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except for
special reasons satisfactory to the President.
The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the avoid-
ance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation of
churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1954-1955 by placing the reference "§" before the names
of these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches
and Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the
year the letter "d" appears. Where the pastor's service ended during the year,
the reference "f" appears. Special grants are listed on page 57.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions ,
removals, Sunday school membership, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These
tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the Year Book;
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment" ;
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post
office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address
(or in some cases, the political township) , and a cross reference on the page where the
post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1955. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1954. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars January 1, 1955, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools", "mission schools" and "home departments" so far as maintained by the
reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will
be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the
"Minutes" of each year. Months and days in the dates of ordination of Congregational
ministers may be found in the lists of the local Associations which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are:
"Ord." — Ordained "Ab." — Absentee
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
"To." or "T." — Total "D." — Death
"L." — Letter
Reference marks are used as follows:
[] Around a pastor's name signify he is not in full standing as a Congregational Christian
minister, nor a denominational licentiate, nor an approved lay preacher, nor a candidate
in care of a local association.
y Pastor serves more than one church. x Includes cost of new building or improvements.
» Pastor installed by Council. — No answer can be given.
r Pastor recognized by Council. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
-k Per Capita paid in full by church.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday School and
young people's organizations, also home expense and value of property, are inserted from the
previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done
that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing
the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent" are included in the "Total." Amount of
"Home Expenses" includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating
expenses and repairs for church, Sunday School, choir and parish. An x before "Value Church
Property" denotes expenditures for new buildings or improvements during the year. The total
expended is given at the end of the Conference schedule.
In reporting the statistics of federated churches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church.
Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young
people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually for all the churches grouped
together in the federated church.

TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $6,600,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Massachusetts Missionary Society was organized on May 29, 1799,
in Boston. There were thirty-eight charter members, mainly followers of the
theology of Samuel Hopkins. They were "impelled by a deep commiseration for
the unhappy state of those who were perishing for lack of those precious means of
salvation which we enjoy." Their intention was to spread "the knowledge of the
glorious Gospel of Christ among the poor Heathens and in those remote parts of
our country in which the inhabitants had not enjoyed the benefits of a Christian
ministry and Christian ordinances," i.e., outside Massachusetts. Nathaniel
Emmons, fifty-four years pastor at Franklin, was the first president.
Oeigin of Domestic Missionary Society
In 1827 the Massachusetts Missionary Society and the Domestic Missionary
Society of Massachusetts Proper (which had come into being in 1818 to "see every
parish in the State well supplied with a faithful Minister of Christ"), were united
under the name of the Massachusetts Missionary Society. This meant that while
the Domestic Missionary Society of Massachusetts Proper lost its name, the
Massachusetts Missionary Society was henceforth to work almost exclusively in
Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Missionary Society became the Massachusetts "Home"
Missionary Society in 1844. This was simply to emphasize that the work of the
Society had become exclusively for America and for the Massachusetts part of
America.
Origin of Massachusetts Conference
The Massachusetts Home Missionary Society and the Massachusetts Congre-
gational Conference were united under the name of the Massachusetts Con-
gregational Conference and Missionary Society in 1927. This was the result of
twenty-seven years' agitation, accelerated by a recommendation of the National
Council in 1907. The charter of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society was
used as the basis for the union of the two organizations. In 1953 the name was
changed to Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference. The Conference
assumes responsibility for all Congregational missionary work done in Massachusetts.
It supports a staff of eleven persons who give ministerial and executive leadership
to a broad program of work designed to help the churches, to develop the fellow-
ship of the ministers and churches, and to cultivate practical support for denomi-
national and interdenominational projects and programs.

ARTICLE I
Terminology
Whenever in these by-laws the word "Conference" is used it shall be held to
refer to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference.
ARTICLE II
Denominational Basis
Following Congregational principles, this Conference shall under no circum-
stances exercise authority over churches or individuals or interfere with the govern-
ment or discipline of the churches. It shall advise and counsel the churches when
requested, but it is recognized that each church has the power of self-determination
in all matters. s
ARTICLE III
Doctrinal Basis
This Conference declares its steadfast allegiance to the faith which our fathers
confessed, which, from age to age, has found its expression in the historic creeds
of the Church Universal and of this Communion.
ARTICLE IV
Membership
Voting Members. Every Church or Congregation which is or shall become
a member of a Congregational or a Congregational Christian Association of
Churches in Massachusetts may annually choose two delegates (of whom it is
suggested one shall be a layman and the other a laywoman) and these delegates,
together with the pastor or pastors of each church (who shall be members ex officiis),
the officers of the Conference (including the members of the Board of Trustees and
any person who shall have been elected an Officer Emeritus), the committee mem-
bers of the Conference and those persons who, prior to May 22, 1923, became life
members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, shall constitute the
voting membership of the Conference; provided, however, that pastors shall have
the privileges of honorary members only unless they shall have membership in
Congregational Christian Associations regularly holding ministerial standing.
Honorary Members. Delegates from corresponding bodies and persons appointed
to speak before the Conference, together with all persons heretofore constituted
honorary members of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, such persons
as may be made honorary members by a vote of the Board of Trustees, and sucb
other persons as the Conference may from time to time vote to admit, shall be

for their knowledge of financial affairs, may serve for two consecutive terms. The
present Trustees shall remain in office until the expiration of their terms.
The Conference shall from time to time designate the Associations from which

Trustee to be chosen from a particular Association in any year shall be a minister,
a layman, or a laywoman.
Each Association shall be notified by the Secretary of the Conference on or
before September 15 when it is its turn to propose to the nominating committee a

reported to the Secretary before April 1, of each year. The Secretary upon the
receipt of these names shall communicate them to the nominating committee on
or before April 10. In case any Association fails to propose a candidate the Board
of Trustees shall perform this duty. This method of choosing Trustees shall
commence at the close of the 1933 Conference.

ARTICLE VII
Retirement and Annuity
1. No person who has attained the age of seventy years shall continue as a
member of the Executive Staff. With respect to employees not members of the
Executive Staff, it shall be the policy of the Conference to retire every such em-
ployee upon his or her attaining the age of seventy years, provided, however, that
this shall not affect the power of the Trustees temporarily to employ from time to
time persons who have passed that age (including former members of the executive
staff) whenever in particular cases the Trustees shall deem such temporary employ-
ment essential to the efficient conduct of the Conference's work.
2. Ordained ministers who are members of the executive staff shall be expected
to be members of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers, and the Con-
ference shall not provide for them any other retirement annuity, except in the case
of ministers who are now members under the Original Plan. Toward each annual
premium in the Annuity Fund of any member of the staff the Conference shall pay
each year an amount equal to 8% of the charge on his salary, less such amount as
the Conference shall pay the United States for his Social Security.
3. Lay members of the office staff shall be expected to be, so far as practicable,
members of the Retirement Fund for Lay Workers, and the Conference shall pay,
as the annual premium for each lay worker who is a member of the Fund, 8% of
the charge on his salary, less such amount as the Conference shall pay the United
States for his Social Security.

The Business Committee reported the following resolutions on
behalf of the Social Action Committee, all of which were adopted :
CIVIL LIBERTIES
WHEREAS a living trust in God leads to reliance on the spirit and practice of
freedom; and
WHEREAS devotion to freedom and liberty has been a basic factor in making
the United States of America great and strong; and
WHEREAS our heritage of freedom and the spiritual health and strength of our
country are endangered today by attitudes and practices of intimidation, careless
1956] Minutes 35
accusations, abuse of political power, malicious slander, premature assumption of
guilt, and judgment of people on the basis of associations rather than of character
and conduct,
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we call upon the people of our churches:
(1) to emphasize the close relation of Christian faith to the maintenance of civil
rights and liberties, (2) to defend in our communities the practice of the freedoms
guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, and (3) to champion for all persons, qualified
under our laws, the right to vote, to participate in political activity, to influence
the decisions of government and to receive the full protection of the law.
RACE RELATIONS
WHEREAS we believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaims the full brother-
hood of all men, and
WHEREAS our nation, through decisions made by its highest court, is now
committed to eradicate segregation based on race from its publicly supported
institutions, including public schools, and
WHEREAS residential segregation is the most crucial factor in perpetuating
segregation in neighborhoods, schools, churches, and other community associations
where patterns of restriction are based on race and are maintained in the housing
market by many realtors, builders, mortgagers and often by government housing
agencies,
Be it RESOLVED that we urge our fellow church members to observe and support
policies of nonsegregation in respect to housing, business practices and other aspects
of community life regardless of race, color, or religion.
We express our concern for churches and individuals in areas where progress in
racial integration is more difficult than here. We pledge those individuals and
churches our sympathetic understanding, our encouragement and when necessary,
our financial support.
(The last paragraph of this resolution was adopted on Wed-
nesday.)
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
WHEREAS the United States has been thrust into a position of major respon-
sibility in the contemporary world, and
WHEREAS the policies of our government should reflect our Christian belief in
the brotherhood of man and the basic sympathy of the American people with the
struggles of Asian, African and other peoples for freedom and equality, and
WHEREAS the progress and development of people in the contemporary world
requires emphasis on interdependence, international responsibility, and political
maturity, as well as on the right to independence,
Be it therefore RESOLVED (1) that we support a larger program of economic
and technical aid to Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America through
both American governmental and private agencies and increasingly through the
United Nations; (2) that we follow domestic and international practices which will
facilitate a greater flow of international trade; (3) that we support the United
36 Minutes [1956
States and United Nations atoms-for-peace programs; (4) that we work increasingly
for a reduction in armaments, on a multilateral basis, with adequate safeguards
against evasion of agreements; and (5) that we support generously the Special
United Nations Fund for Economic Development (SUNFED).
IMMIGRATION
WHEREAS the McCarran- Walter Act enacted in 1953 represents an immigra-
tion policy and procedure that is discriminatory and un-American and makes a
democratic foreign policy difficult,
We urge the liberalization of our national immigration laws to bring them in line
with our national character and position in the world today by: (a) taking a more
humanitarian position regarding sick and dependent members of immigrants'
families even at the hazard of incurring some public charge; (b) revising the present
quota system so that all discrimination against nations or areas is eliminated;
(c) reviewing the affidavit or assurance requirements, looking toward their simpli-
fication; (d) eliminating those parts of the McCarran- Walter Act which put any
of the rights and privileges of citizenship of our naturalized citizens in jeopardy.
UNITED NATIONS
We reaffirm our support of the United Nations as an indispensable instrument
for the discussion of international problems and for cooperative action on behalf
of world peace and welfare. We believe the United Nations to be an important
means through which Christians can make meaningful and practical their devotion
to human brotherhood and mutual aid. We believe the United Nations can give
most effective service as it becomes increasingly universal in membership. We
applaud the purposes and program of UNESCO and acclaim its program for edu-
cation, better health, crops and child care and its work toward free schooling for
all children. We further urge that our churches support the program of the United
Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) by promoting the study of UNICEF in the
churches and schools, and by organizing in their local communities the nation-wide
Halloween Treat for the World's Children.

At 4:45 the Moderator called a business session and intro-
duced Mrs. Myron Bemis, who made a statement concerning
ADVANCE, asking support through increased subscriptions.
The Business Committee introduced the following resolutions,
all of which were adopted:
FOREIGN STUDENTS
WHEREAS (in the words of Dr. John R. Mott) "The presence within our gates
of successive generations of the flower of the students of all lands, races, and
communions, presents one of the really great opportunities for international and
interracial service as well as for world-wide influence. These foreign students, in
years to come, on their return to their native lands will furnish a disproportionately
large number of the leaders in the realm of thought and action. They come among
us as strangers. It is of the utmost importance that we befriend them and unsel-
fishly serve them in every way in our power."
Be it therefore RESOLVED that we urge our churches and our church families
to invite the foreign students attending nearby colleges and universities to share
on appropriate occasions, especially on holidays and weekends, the hospitality of
their homes and the fellowship of church groups. (Foreign student advisors on
the campuses may be called upon for help in making arrangements.)
SEMINARY STUDENTS
WHEREAS our theological seminaries in New England are receiving and
training for Christian leadership increasing numbers of students from other lands,
and
WHEREAS these native student leaders working side by side with American
missionaries in foreign countries are giving a great new impetus to our Christian
work abroad, and
38 Minutes [1956
WHEREAS our seminaries are undertaking to raise scholarship funds to support
students from abroad, and
WHEREAS our American Board under its authorized Special Gifts Program is
eagerly seeking scholarship aid to the amount of $6,000 for students from India
and Ceylon, $3,000 for students from Japan, $2,500 for students from the Philip-
pines, $4,500 for students from Africa, and $1,500 for students from Mexico,
Be it therefore RESOLVED that we urge our churches, our church organizations
and our Congregational families to support generously this program through
scholarship grants to seminaries and to the American Board.
CLOTHES FOR ATHENS COLLEGE
WHEREAS a call for help in meeting an emergency need has come from the
American Friends Service Committee in respect to the need for men's and boys'
clothing at Athens College in Greece, and
WHEREAS approximately half the students at this important educational
institution receive scholarship assistance which ranges from full board and tuition
to supplementary food and clothing, and
WHEREAS, about five tons of clothing are needed for the next academic year,
1956-1957,
Therefore be it RESOLVED that we refer this need and commend this cause to
our churches with the suggestion that those who wish to help should send gifts of
clothing to the Congregational Service Committee, 110 East 29th St., New York
or to the American Friends Service Committee Clothing Center, 5 Longfellow
Park, Cambridge, Mass., and mark them for Athens College.
Rev. Richard A. Wolff, reporting for the Committee on
Education for Union, told of a growing enthusiasm for union
with the Evangelical and Reformed Churches, and urged that
we go forward. Mr. Wolff presented the following resolution,
which was adopted by a vote of 354 to 19.
UNION WITH THE EVANGELICAL AND REFORMED CHURCH
The Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, meeting at Williamstown
in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Haystack Prayer Meeting, out of
which came the organization of the American Board and so the beginning of the
foreign missionary movement in this country, records its hope
That the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches at its coming
meeting in Omaha will approve the consummation of our union with the Evangelical
and Reformed Church in 1957, which may well be the beginning of a large-scale
movement toward uniting Protestant churches in the United States.
A resolution was offered by Rev. Joseph J. Russell of Holbrook,
commending to the churches for their serious consideration such
resolutions as those recently adopted by Pilgrim Church,
Duluth, Minnesota; the Church in the Gardens, Forest Hills,
N. Y.; and Old South Church, Boston, relative to the union
1956] Minutes 39
with the Evangelical and Reformed Church. The resolution
was defeated by a vote of 315 to 34.
The Business Session adjourned at 6:30, with prayer by the
chaplain.
A motion picture, "A Gift from my Son," was shown.
TUESDAY EVENING
A Fellowship Dinner was served in the college Dining Hall.

Rev. William Boicourt of Watertown, the Rev. Norman King

40 Minutes [1956

The Business Committee introduced the following addition
to the resolutions on Race Relations and it was adopted: "We
express our concern for churches and individuals in areas where
progress in racial integration is more difficult than here. We
pledge those individuals and churches our sympathetic under-
standing, our encouragement and when necessary, our financial
support."
The Business Committee introduced the following resolutions,
which were adopted:

ian Churches accept the invitation of the Frst Church in Newton to hold its 158th
Annual Meeting in its church at a date mutually acceptable by the church, the

The sad news was received of the sudden passing of the Rev.
John H. Bembow, minister of the Westminster Congregational
Church and a member of the Worcester North Association. Mr.
Bembow had served the Westminster Church for five years and
had proven himself a beloved and devoted servant of Christ.
His untimely passing at the age of thirty-three years indeed
saddens us all. It was

1956] Report of the Treasurer 49
May 9, 1956
The Reverend Albert Buckner Coe, D.D., President
Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference
Boston, Massachusetts
We have examined the balance sheets of Massachusetts Congregational Christian
Conference and of Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference, Trustee, as at
March 31, 1956, and the related statements of income for the year ended at that
date. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The securities representing the invested funds at March 31, 1956, were verified
by inspection or confirmation, and the cash in banks and in office by certificate
or count.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of
income present fairly the financial position of the Conference and of the Conference
as Trustee, respectively, at March 31, 1956, and the results of their operations
for the year ended at that date, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

*Income paid direct to church by Massachusetts Congregational Fund.
ALLOTMENT ACCOUNT
In 1927 the Massachusetts Congregational Conference and the Massachusetts
Home Missionary Society were united in a single corporation. Previous to that
time, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the Conference had
paid their expenses for meetings and administration by thirteen cents collected for
each church member. It seems right that the Conference part of our organization
should still pay its own charges. Twenty-eight cents per member is asked this year
of the Churches. Twenty cents of the twenty-eight goes to the General Council
(formerly The National Council) and eight cents is kept by the Conference. The col-
lection of the eight cents per member is the attempt of the Conference part of our
organization to pay its expenses and not to become a charge upon missionary funds.
BEQUESTS
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference are used
to aid weak churches and to promote the work and interests of the Con-
ference in the State. Bequests may be made permanent funds by the donor,
and the Conference restricted to the use of the income only. The practice
of the Conference is to divide unrestricted legacies into three equal parts. One
part is used for current work, one part is added to the Permanent Legacy Fund,
the income only of which is used for general purposes; and the third part is added
to a Contingent Fund, the principal of which may be drawn upon to care for
special undertakings or to avoid a deficit.
If, on the other hand, a testator specifies that his entire legacy is to be expended
as current income and that he does not wish it invested in whole or in part, these
directions will be carefully observed.
Bequests to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference pay no
Massachusetts inheritance tax.
FORM OF BEQUEST
I give to the Massachusetts Congregational Christian Conference incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the sum of
Dollars.

GRANTS FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGREGATIONAL
CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE
Grants for the aid of churches and certain other types of work are made by the
Conference through the Board of Trustees, following recommendation by the
Grants Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The Grants Committee considers applications for grants to local churches (to
strengthen the ministry of the church); to hospital chaplaincies; to week-day
religious education programs in certain churches; to St. Mark Social Center; to
other interdenominational projects in Massachusetts; to Hospitality House at
Ayer (Fort Devens), and other work as need arises. In co-operation with the
Churches and Colleges Committee it also receives applications for grants for student
work both on campus and in churches near campuses.
Requests for grants come to the committee through the member of the conference
executive staff who is particularly concerned either with the area or the type of
work.
Grants to local churches are made under the following circumstances :
1. Where a community is too far from a church to benefit from its privileges,
the Conference encourages the establishment of regular religious services, and, if
possible, the organization of a church, or a branch of a neighboring church.
2. Applications by any church for financial aid should be made by the vote of
the church, and upon forms furnished by the Conference, and should have the
approval of the Advisory or Grants Committee of the local Association of Churches.
3. Churches applying for aid should show that they have met in full all financial
obligations to their ministers and are doing their utmost toward self-support.
4. In granting aid different amounts will be appropriated according to the
necessity, importance, and prospects of each field.
5. Every church aided by the Conference should consult the Area Minister or
President before making arrangements for pastoral service.
6. When the service of the minister or other worker, for whose support an
appropriation is made, shall terminate, the appropriation shall lapse, except for
special reasons satisfactory to the President.
The Conference advocates adequate compensation for every minister and
worker.
The Conference favors hearty co-operation with other denominations, the avoid-
ance of overlapping and competing work, and the consolidation or federation of
churches of different denominations in over-churched communities.
We are indicating in this copy of the Minutes the churches that received Con-
ference grants in the year 1955-1956 by placing the reference "§" before the names
of these churches in the section of the Minutes entitled "Associations of Churches
and Ministerial Standing." In cases where the grant was discontinued during the
year the letter "d" appears. Where the pastor's service ended during the year,
the reference "f" appears. Special grants are listed on page 57.

STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church membership, additions,
removals, Sunday school membership, and the amount of benevolences and expenses. These
tables, in accordance with the vote of the Conference in 1887, are made to conform to those in
the National Year Book ;
2. The Associations of the churches, with the names of officers;
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of
membership in the Association, the residence and his "employment";
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of ah the Congregational churches in
Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabetically. In cases where the post
office name of the church and the town differ, heavy type indicates the postal address
(or in some cases, the political township) , and a cross reference on the page where the
post office name would naturally be found will direct the reader to the town name.
Church members are reported as numbered January 1, 1956. Admissions and removals
cover the year 1955. "Sunday school" includes total membership of officers, teachers and
scholars January 1, 1956, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering
"branch schools", "mission schools" and "home departments" so far as maintained by the
reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will
be found in the publications of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the
"Minutes" of each year. Months and days in the dates of ordination of Congregational
ministers may be found in the lists of the local Associations which follow the tables.
Abbreviations in schedule headings are:
"Ord." — Ordained "Ab." — Absentee
"Cld." — Called "C." — Confession
"To." or "T." — Total "D." — Death
"L." — Letter
Reference marks are used as follows:
y Pastor serves more than one church. x Includes cost of new building or improvements.
i Pastor installed by Council. —No answer can be given,
r Pastor recognized by Council. * Value of church property includes parsonage.
•fr Per Capita paid in full by church.
II When a church has made no report, items of membership in church, Sunday School and
young people's organizations, also home expense and value of property, are inserted from the
previous Year Book and marked II in the first column of the statistical report. This is done
that these items may be included in the summaries and comparative tables, thus minimizing
the danger of falsifying the comparisons.
Under church "Members" the number "Absent" are included in the "Total." Amount of
"Home Expenses" includes all salaries, together with missionary aid received, operating
expenses and repairs for church, Sunday School, choir and parish. An x before "Value Church
Property" denotes expenditures for new buildings or improvements during the year. The total
expended is given at the end of the Conference schedule.
In reporting the statistics of federated chur'ches, figures given pertaining to membership
and gifts on the apportionment are for the Congregational church within the federated church.
Figures pertaining to average attendance, Church School enrollment, membership in young
people's organizations, contributions to home expenses are usually.for all the churches grouped
together in the federated church.

CONDITIONAL GIFTS
The Conference receives conditional gifts, subject to annuity agree-
ments with the donors, and encourages this method for those who
wish any part of their property to be applied to our work after their
death, and desire an assured income from their property for them-
selves, or for others whom they may designate as beneficiaries, as long
as they live. Correspondence with the Treasurer concerning such
annuity agreements is invited.

TRUST FUNDS
The Massachusetts Congregational Fund, organized during the
year 1945 under the auspices of the Conference, is now administering
trust funds of Congregational churches and organizations in Massa-
chusetts aggregating $7,700,000, including the funds of the Conference.
It is not an easy matter for church or parish committees, often
made up of those without broad experience in investment matters,
to guard the safety of church trust funds. We welcome inquiries
from Congregational churches in Massachusetts relative to caring
for their trust or endowment funds.
